m3 rep bumper for $140

staplescenter · 05-11-2014, 06:35 PM

I found this website that is selling brand new m3 rep bumper for $140 and with local pick up so i dont have to pay for shipping. It comes primed and ready to be painted. Company stated it is made of fiberglass. Is this a good deal or is fiberglass really that bad?

You get what you pay for. And fiberglass sucks.

Can you elaborate on Fiberglass sucks? I'm aware of the material but what does it do or not do? Or will just crack easily?

It's very brittle and doesn't bend. If fitment is an issue there won't be much you can do. And yes it can crack easily.

You're right. I will end up going this route. If only that deal from the FS thread didnt fall through. Trade my AW oem plus 200 for his AW msport bumper. Argh!!!

Save your 150 & just add 200 to buy the PP made...

Do not buy fiberglass! Fiberglass ended with the first fast and the furious.
