Default bumper problems..

I'm looking to do the 97-99 front bumper conversion on my gst, but all they junkyards around here are awful and
i can't find anyone looking to sell their bumper. i know the ebay ones with the triangle are 'you get what you
pay for' because theyre so cheap. But, i found one thats through an ebay store that has their own commercial
website and seems pretty believable, but at the same time im ready to buy anything i see just because i want
to get my car on the road. please let me know what you guys think or offer any advice.. thanks.

yeah u do get what you pay for. as long as u see one and it looks legit you should get it. and in good condition of course. how much are you willing to spend on a new bumper?

yeah i saw that one.. but right now for me 230 is kinda steep. and the one on ebay looks like its the same as that one. but when i started looking at these they were selling unprimed ones for 140 and im like hey i can do that but a few days ago none of the sites like this are selling unprimed ones anymore so i dont know what to do.

Does the 97-99 Front Bumper bolt straight on to a 95 GS or do you have to do some modding?
Also is it the same with the rear bumper?
