Where to purchase OE bumper covers

I've been looking around lately for an OE sport bumper cover for my coupe. I checked with CertiFit and Keystone and they dont seem to carry it. Im not even gonna ask the dealer about it... But I cant seem to find one anywhere. I perused through the vendor area a bit and didnt come up with anything. I dont want to deal with aftermarket fitment so I would really like to find a new OE cover. Anybody know of a half decent source for OE body parts?

Thanks in advance

Yea I've been checking the classy's like every week... lol. But I would like to find a new one because A) Either way I am going to have to pay to have it painted. B) I have always had a bad experience shipping large items like this in the past getting damaged. C) shipping a bumper privately sounds kind of expensive... but thats just a guess.

But then I got to thinking, this winter I'll be installing a Vortech and wasn't sure how they plumb/locate their intercooler. I havent researched that aspect of it a whole lot yet and our factory bumpers aren't very condusive to FMIC's. But thats pretty much a non-point if I dont need to use a front mount.

Maybe ill just buy a lip for my non-sport and call it a day... haha

But if anyone knows where I can get a new OE front bumper skin then please let me know.

Well i was looking for a sport bumper too like 2-3 months ago and was never able to find one on the classifieds so i just ended up going to the dealership to buy a new one.
I told them it wasn't for me and that it wasfor a shop, and they ended up giving me wholesale price haha it was close to the price listed on infinitipartsusa.com just no shipping costs lol

How much does Certifit get for it? the body shop next to my house quoted me ~$400 for an OE directly from Infiniti. (unpainted obviously)

thats pretty cheap. How was the fitment compared to an OE? Do you have any pictures? Did it take any modification or adjustment at all?

ReveMoto.com sells OEM replacement bumper covers pre-painted, and the cost to paint your bumper will only cost an additional $200.

Compared to an OEM bumper, it fits pretty much the same. The bumper isnt as thick, but it still durable for the price. I can take some pics for and as soon as i can

Ahh I looked forever for sport OEM bumper, finally had a guy ship it from CA. Was a lot of work to prep because of all the rock chips etc... with this one, you're probably best off to just buy it new, ready for paint... it looks awesome on my 05

I wouldn't get pre-painted you will get a much better color mach if you take them to a body shop where they can match it to your car.
