Subject:      NVC: 2000 Jetta front bumper cover........RockAuto
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

so I need a front bumper for my 2000 Jetta. It is atlantic blue, a color which was only used for one year and thus almost impossible to get used. Checked some online vendors (after the recent discussion about RockAuto) and found:

ECSTUNING: Genuine VW/AUDI (1J5807217JGRU) $318.43 Busdepot $317.36 some vendors on Amazon from $140.00 to $300.00 RockAuto (CAPA certified) $76.79

The part from RockAuto is the least expensive (and is the most expensive from their site (starts at $49.00) as being "CAPA certified").

Now my question: how accurately will this bumper fit? Does anybody have experience with how well the parts fit from RockAuto or is it "you get what you paid for"?
