Differences in Bumpers
I hit a damn racoon last night, and the thing tore up my front bumper. I"m looking online, and it seems there are 3 different types of bumpers.
1. Dealership.
2. One that is CAPA certified.
3. One that is not certified.
My question is, does it really matter? I mean plastic is plastic... I mean yeah there are different strengths of plastic... How does one know what they are really getting? Forgot to mention none of them are painted...
