The wing on the silver should stay on a subie, and the grill needs to be painted.

I was looking for more info. IE if anyone here has it, what is it made of, and fit. I know it is not the real MS but I can't justify 3k let alone 1500 just for the front bumper, for the real thing.

it's fiberglass...

the real thing can save you a lot headaches. Even though the upfront cost is intially cheaper if you factor in a "decent" paint job and fitment corrections it's not that big of a price difference. But the material difference is the big thing here, this one is fiberglass the other is metton liquid, which is a patented high quality plastic that is a lot more durable than fiberglass.

The cost savings (if any or much) is not worth the headaches down the road. American fiberglass is a headache, if you have to go replica look for polyurethane, and buy it from rotary extreme. But even then polyurethane sags over time and would look real cheap. So either way you look at it it's going to either cost more now, or cost you more later.
