NC 2nd Gen front bumper cover

Restoring my 1989 GTUs, need the above part. I know, impossible to find, but have hit all the websites I have used over the last 20 yrs, but no luck. Any leads would be appreciated.

Post in the marketplace, there are plenty of people im sure with one. Yahoo auctions proxy service is another option. Ebay has a bunch of S4 ones, probably a matter of time or a little digging for s5.

フロント バンパー FC3S Paste that into yahoo japan if you elect to go with an auction proxy service. There's plenty there.

This is true, about $650 bucks. Not "impossible to find" however.

When I painted the '89TII back in 2015 I wanted to install a new front cover, the cover had cracks
from the crappy dealership paint job of the bumper and headlight covers back in 1989, but none available.
Finally, a fellow listed one on ebay, he had it in his garage, forgot about the cover and put it up for sale,
snapped that one up.

Not certain as to the quality, but did find this reconditioned cover:

"Reconditioned". Sounds sketchy. I'm thinking at this point I'm gonna end up with a roller and just sell off what I don't want.

After I read the above, thought how bad can the covers be, I've repaired many, takes lots of time, but come out flawless, so thought I'd do some research:

Pattern of Complaint:
BBB files indicate that Bumper Megastore has a pattern of consumer complaints. Specifically, the complaints allege that the business secures payment from consumers for auto parts however, the parts are never received or the parts received are second hand, damaged or incorrect.

Guess we'll cross that one off the list!
