I just wanted to hear peoples pro's and con's on the JDM Front-End Conversion.. Metal vs. Fiber Glass. I was think'n of getting the conversion for my car, and for some reason always wanted OEM Metal Conversion. I always thought it was better. Well I was think'n Im not going to enter in shows to win win win. Maybe just for fun, and its not that big of a deal to me. I mean fiber glass is cheaper. Do any of you know the downside to fiber glass??? I havent heard much, so your opinions are helpful. So Metal or Fiberglass... and remember, Im just doing it for daily driving around nice, not show nice.. Thanks--

yeah don't get fiberglass. it's cheap and it'll break really easily.then you spend even more money getting a metal front

i have the fibergalss front end. i've had it for about 5 years now with no problems. they're right about getting into a front end accident...but then again, even with a metal conversion u'll be screwed too if u hit something really hard. u also might have some fitment problems depending on how good the fiberglass product turned out -- nothing ur local body shop can't fix.

if u can find a good deal on the metal ones, then i'd say go for it.
