If I'm right, it does not have the slot for the arrowhead. My 97 GT had a new bumper with no slot, it was flush/ flat in the middle. Didn't bother me cause the car was completely de badged.

Oh that too, the ones I mentioned being GM surplus have the arrowhead slot. If you don't want to put an arrowhead in there, the "ghost" arrowhead looks pretty cool too.

This was the "Ghost" arrowhead bumper on my 97 GT.

This was mine while I was waiting for my inlay:

i went to my dealer and it was 250 and extra for shipping cause they didnt have any in stock

i like how people complain about 1k for a painted oem bumper,

sure you could get a aftermarket/remaned for 200$ and it will probobly fit like poo.

if you would drop a bumper off at a shop to get painted it should only be 500$ if it has to be two toned for just the bumper, when you throw in someones labor to take it off and put it back on thats 200$ by book time. so 200 for labor, 400 for a oem cover, and say 350 for prep and painting the cover. it adds up quickly, plus your paying for shops overhead
