I'll put it this way:

If you buy the fiberglass replica at a "cheap" price, and then put it on your car, you will then realize how bad it fits. Then you will be like "damn, I should have listened to those Honda-Tech experts and saved up a little longer to get the OEM metal front end." So then what? Well, you try to save up again for that oh-so-coveted OEM metal conversion. And then you think "hmm... maybe I could sell my fiberglass conversion to get money for the metal front end." But alas, everybody else knows that the fitment on those things is **** poor, because everybody else listens to what the experts on Honda-Tech say. And so after many many months of grueling saving and starving yourself, you finally have the money to buy the OEM metal front end, but then you're stuck with two front ends, and you can't get rid of the fiberglass one. You dare not just throw it away because you paid all that money for it in the first place.

Or you could save all that extra time and effort of saving up for two front ends, and just go ahead and save for the OEM metal front end.

Not all fiberglass kits are crap. (I wouldn't get one, but...)
Some things you might want to think about before you consider purchasing this item. It does not come with Headlights, Rad support, or other misc parts. The headlights and Rad support alone will run you about $750, (if your lucky) This means you will still be paying around $1500 for the complete kit, and not $600. You can get the real OEM kit for that much. Food for thought.
