An IMPACT ABSORBER is not at all a cosmetic part. It is there to help absorb the impact of the accident to help save lives. Do you work for an insurance company?
A bumper impact absorber is a cosmetic part? You are very ignorant on this subject. OEM parts cost more due in part to the fact that manufacturers actually have to do research and make their parts meet federal crash safety guidelines, whereas aftermarket companies only have to make their parts visually resemble the real deal.
That's not a cosmetic part. I'm a parts manager and I can tell you that aftermarket parts (while designed to meet or exceed OE spec) are not always the best bet for crash parts. This part was actually a structural part, and not a cosmetic one. Do your homework before posting in the future.
@TripEngle A front bumper IMPACT ABSORBER is a "cosmetic part" ??? LOL The reason it makes good theater is because the parts are made of inferior material. That's why they are cheap. The OEM actually has to crash test their cars and parts and MEET standards and federal regulations. You may not realize this, but it actually costs money to do these things! Whereas if you're keystone, you just make parts kinda remble the OEM, cheap metal, wrong kinda plastic, who cares! Completely unregulated.
so glad this issue is finally being talked about openly. insurance companies should be ashamed!
@DustonDan I'm not getting your point, if it returns its original state, the only thing need to be replaced would be the cover, right?
