Raceonusa SL65 Style AMG Bumper

I might get flamed for mentioning an "AMG STYLE" non geniune bumper..

But the bumper looks good and seems to be very cheap!
Anyone have any experience with them?

Yeah but does it fit like OEM with no gaps? The OEM AMG bumpers are so solid too.

Yes, stay away from fiberglass. Polyurethane is the way to go.

problems with this fake stuff is usually that the connection parts may suck..

I dont' like the look of it, and like everyone says, it's likely not gonna be the perfect fit. I was at my local MB bodyshop yesterday, and they were telling me about this guy who begged and pleaded for the shop to install an aftermarket no name front fender to his CL.

When they attempted, it was a nightmare. The bodyshop charge $2000.00 extra to shave, bolt, and manipulate the fender on the car. It can be done, but it's a pain in the a** plus costly..
