Default Anyone using and happy with fiberglass JDM conversion?

Just looking for opinions on fiberglass conversions. I know OEM sheetmetal is the way to go, but the price is up there. I've heard fiberglass wont fit or look right and that no one really makes a complete fiberglass kit that is respectable. Is anyone using a fiberglass conversion that they are happy with, if so, who makes it? Thanks for the info.

Have you seen an Erebuni kit in person, how well does it fit, does it look right on the car?

i have to agree and i have the fiberglass kit ...at the time i needed it i only had enough for the fiberglass and no insurance was paying for it. the place i got it done made it fit awesome, alot of people have to ask wether or not its fiberglass.

pros: cheap, light weight

cons: chips easily, fenders get wavey, cracks easily, if you dont go to a good shop to get it on it will look like ****.

if you have the money go oem you will be much happier, i was gonna get an oem bumper for some one on this board (no names said and get the sheet metal fenders, but money sources are depleted now.

I have a friend with a fiberglass front end. He hit a small rodent in the road... broke his bumper cover. I would personally NEVER put on a fiberglass front end unless it was an all out race car.
