Hi folks;

So for the last couple of years I have been running around with the front bumper cover of my mini van cracked in half. I have it held on with similar colour duct tape (Red car/red racer tape) but the tape keeps loosing its colour. It is time that I just got off the pot and replaced the cover. Question is I heard of a company a while ago that sells the plastic bumper covers for a decent price (200 or so)

Other than a wrecker that want INSANE $$ for a used part, does anyone know a place/company that sells what I need for a cost-effective price.

Van is an '08 Grand Caravan. Thanks.

I stitched the tears in mine back together with zip ties.

Believe it or not, Rockauto shows lists them for $55. Seems insanely low... Primer, of course, so you'd have to DIY paint it or have that done.

Actually... body parts from Rockauto seem pretty reasonable. A left fender for my Jetta is between $35 (cheap) and $40 (CAPA certified).

This too was my thought.
Red ties, for the classy look.

Zip tie option is cool. And I like it, just not sure of how to remove the bumper cover and put it back on. Plus its dang cold outside. But definitely something to look into.

Checked out the price for the cover at Rock Auto. Man that is awesome price. I would even paint it myself.

Things to consider for sure. Thanks everyone.
