Replacement Bumpers

I live in an area where jackwagons back up until they hit the next car it seems like to know they have gone far enough.

Anyone used any of the aftermarket bumper covers on their car? What are you thoughts?

What do you mean by bumper covers? Bush guards like on 4x4's?

I'm a body shop manager at a Chevy dealer in Iowa. We have used A/M bumper fascias several times from Keystone without much of an issue. Fit seems ok but the edges are sometimes rough and need sanding down. OEM is always the best, but the aftermarket is certainly cost advantageous. Keystone offers a 1 yr warranty on their parts as well if not longer depending on the part. Is the cover not repairable? Usually is most cost effective to repair and refinish rather than replace unless they're really beat up.
