CLS Brabus front bumper knockoff

What are your thoughts on this EBAY CLS Brabus knockoff bumper. Looks good for $399, I'm sure it's not near the oem brabus rocket bumper, the price is a fraction of it.
Question is would this fit good, do you know anybody that has tried this bumper?
Does is matter that it's fiberglass and not polyurethane?

I've seen this for sale several times on ebay. I'm not really sure about the fitment, but the fact that it is fiberglass is reason enough to not get one. It doesn't flex like polyurethane so if you hit something it will be easier to crack. So its really your call if you want to be the guinea pig.

I just purchased an authentic brabus rocket front bumper and its sitting at the body shop. I plan on posting some pics once its installed next week.

good to know, that's what I figured. The rocket bumper goes for around 2800-3200? Do you know who has a better carbon front lip, euroteck or eurorev?

That price range is about right for the bumper. As far as the lips go, its hard to call, but I've seen some claim euroteck's is superior.

I agree with lex, I wouldn't touch this bumper due to the fact that its fiberglass. The fitment will most likely be horrible. I have an authentic Brabus Rocket bumper and the fitment is great. You really do get what you pay for.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
Also, what are your thoughts on Eurorev's CLS front carbon lip and rear diffuser? They are local so it seems easier to get for me than Euroteck. Also I heard Euroteck's is only carbon wrap and not full carbon like Eurorev's.

Thanks, Francis

right on . fiberglass = bad quality + bad fitment + bad durability.

wait a bit more, save more money and get the real stuff. it's well worth it. good luck in either purchase.
