Looking for a 2002 Grand Prix GT Bumper Cover

In dire need of a Front Bumper Cover Non-OEM CAPA for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT V6. I needs to be CAPA due to my insurance company demanding it. I hit a Red Fox beginning of the month and just now got my reimbursement. Checked Rockauto.com but their shipping and handling is insane $143 and the merchant is $110. Any advice would be greatly helpful.

The Certified Automotive Parts Association. I checked Ebay and some of the grilles are different

If your vehicle is involved in an accident, don't take chances. Make sure you and your insurer specify CAPA-Certified replacement parts by name.
Remember, if it isn't CAPA-Certified, it isn't a genuine replacement part.
 
Yeah, then you are gonna pay out the ass, OEM is expensive. Guy that cracked my front bumper cover was on the hook for over $1800 from the estimates because of that. Since it was a cosmetic issue my insurance didn't require I actually fix it. Meanwhile, I got a "china bumper" painted and shipped for under $300
 
That's what I'm talking about, that is a replica AKA "china" bumper. Some vendors will even color match them with your paint code/VIN for not much more.

Edit: specifically, note the lack of the molded Pontiac word that legit ones would have.

Some replacements also don't have the recess for the Pontiac insignia. I just go to the junkyard because I'm cheap.

Are you referring to the front Pontiac Logo on the front Bumper, cause that's my next question is there a way to reuse my old one or have to buy a new one. I finally got my Bumper today so tomorrow I will install it.

If you are talking about the little red arrowhead at the top center, the answer is probably not. You can peel them off when the bumper is warm and maybe even re-stick it but the foil backing usually gets too stretched and curls up the emblem once it has been removed. I would buy a new one. At least your new cover has the indent for it between the grilles, some of the cheapo bare plastic bumpers do not.

Thanks Idrivejunk, Do you know any websites that sells it or is it mostly a GM part.
 


Those overlays look like they fit an 02 model just fine. The actual factory type arrowhead emblem has to be GM, but there are plenty of sites that sell GM parts like gmpartsdirect.
 
The bumper cover is on ebay for $108 free shipping. As for the badge if it's just the red arrow head you need I have one you can have. I didn't like it on mine.
