M1 speed front end

There is a guy about a 100mi from me selling what he calls a M1 speed front end its fiberglass and never been installed. All the pics looked great and he only wants 50 bucks and looks like a speed knock off. Is this a good buy our should I avoid this brand of front end. Thank for any imput

sounds fishy, likely doesn't fit very well...then again only 50 bucks not a huge outlay if it turns out to be crap.

If you pick it up it wouldn't be too bad. Shipping would cost more than the price of the bumper.

I will be in KC this week and would just pick it up. My only concern would be to paint it and install it then have it crack with in weeks. I just have never had to much experience with fiberglass I have only heard the bad luck people with it

As far as I know, fiberglass is a lot easier to work with than urethane - sure it'll crack if you hit it, but a lot of shops have more experience fixing fiberglass.
