call up a salvage yard or body shop. i put one on my 81 camaro i had, it was an INTEURO brand...pretty sure that was the spelling. anyway it fit great, was stiffer than the stock GM unit, and was about $200 cheaper to boot. verify fitment before paint, but i was pleased with my aftermarket part.

There are many places which sell aftermarket bumpers, lights, grilles, fenders, hoods, etc. However, many of them will only sell to body-shops or will sell to the public at a higher price than they sell to body-shops (wholesale).
On fit, test-fit before installation. I have had wonderful experience with plastic parts such as headlights, bumpers (the cover part), grilles, etc. Most of the metal parts (radiators, bumper reinforcing members, etc.) have fit well, but I've had the odd piece which had to be massaged into place. Once or twice I've had to use zip-ties on a grille because the clips weren't made to close enough tolerances.
Shop around and don't be shy when asking for discounts or making offers less than the stated/listed price.
Also, a plastic part such as a bumper (cover) might not fit well if the part under it or supporting it is bent or mis-aligned. Make sure the underlying structure and parts are straight before blaming a perfectly good aftermarket part.
Make sure you have all the right clips, pins, and screws too. Some of these small fasteners may be gotten at your local auto-parts store (usually in a "self help" aisle). If not, these small miscellaneous parts might be dealer only parts.

Keystone.
I work at an auto body supply store and that is our supplier for after market parts.
Fargo Bumper is also another supplier. Try looking these two up online. If your not a dealer you may not be able to buy from these, but your local auto body supply store should have their own suppliers to get your covers from!

Better to go with a used one even if you go with a full bumper---aftermarket covers are not as good as factory ones and you may have a lot of trouble with it fitting good and being warped. If you go with A/M, make sure to test fit it before painting. Local body shops can tell you what local vendors sell A/M parts in your area.

Yes, but you will need a compitent bodyman... fit needs "blending"
