Default Need a new bumper

Basically the left underside mount bolt has fallen off somewhere causing a small section of the bumper near the wheel well to flop around a bit. It's starting to crack a bit and looks like it wants the follow the crease along the front side. I basically have the option to get a OEM bumper or an after market for about 50 bucks less. Would it be worth it to go with the aftermarket or might i have fitting issues?

It would be worth is as long as it is not fiberglass and don't look like some ricer pos.

I've seen it. Basically its looks extremely similar to the stock and its the same plastic as the stock as well. I wouldn't go for some ricer looking piece as my car is basically all stock.

I assume you are talking about the bumper cover and not the bumper itself.

you would also need to replace the bolt etc.

Its either hit or miss with aftermarket bumpers, some look good and some don't.
