Tough bumper decision
My Bonny got rear-ended at a stop light. Insurance cut a check $900. I have been waiting on E-bay for a GXP rear bumper cover at a good price, but hasn't happened. Note that shipping bumpers seems to run about $80.
Found a SSEi bumper cover, local, for under $250. They will paint and install for another $250. Out the door for $500. One thing I like is it seems all they do is bumper covers and have a 100% positive E-bay rating for over 600 bumpers.
Anyone see anything I am overlooking?

Nice price on the bumper, and they say never cracked. One thing you want to watch out for. They are so thin, repairs to cracks never hold up.

Thanks for the input/ comments Gents.
Went to Bumper City in person. The owner wanted to show me around- he does have 4 floors of bumper covers and states that is all he does. He added he has exclusively worked on bumpers since he was 19- he is is in 40'*. I would say the place is neat- but does lack some processes. An example is he has over 100k bumpers in stock- yet he has no inventory system, remembers them in is mind.
He ended up selling a me a GXP bumper, painted and installed, including tax for $523.00 I am happy but will have some concern on quality control.
