How about this front end

http://www.importfan.com/index.php?m...d17c6329c31bf1

Its cheap so im assuming that its going to require some effort on my part to fit and prep but im cool with that. Anyone out there have it or know anything about it.
I want a cheap front end because i want to try some custom fiberglass work on one but i dont want to screw up a 800 dollar front end, but i need one that will fit my car.

Let me know please
Thanks
Justin

It looks like a MS replica, but I haven't heard of this vendor. Sorry.

I think the plastic is on the outside so you won's be able to do anything with it.

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic. plastic on outside to prevent chips, just like the Urethane plastic.

I don't know about now, but when I brought a kit for my Mitsubishi Eclipse from them a couple of years ago it was quality stuff. The Fiberglass on the kit was nice and thick, it wasn't flimsy like some other companies on ebay. The bodykit I brought was a blitz knockoff for my lowered Eclipse (I'm talking low, like 1 1/2 off the ground). The bumper that was put on lasted two years driven in the Boston snow, floods and potholes while the car was that low. The thing was like a snow plow, it was THAT hard. It wasn't till the car fell in a pothole a foot deep that the kit split and broke apart. The rest of the kit was still mint when I sold the car. I didn't realize the quality it had until I brought another front bumper from EBAY which snapped right in half while driving through a small puddle. The only problem with the kit was the size of the "lips" where you attach the bumpers to the fenders was pretty short. I had to custom make a bracket to hold the kit on right. Sorry if I'm babbleing, it's 2 am and Im pretty tired. I left both kits remains at my friends house. Maybe I can get a pic for you this weekend to compare the qualities.

they use the same picture that is in the mazdaspeed catalog for the rx-8 that you can pick up at any mazdaspeed authorized dealer...so it's a knock off. i bet it'll never fit correctly.....if you can get it to fit at all.
