Quality is very questionable after my buddy's replica cracked right off after hitting a cat and some other debris...look for the hardness differences between the MazdaSpeed Replica and the C-West Replica. Any ?'s, PM Mild7.

pretty much anything you hit gonig 70+mph is going to destroy fiberglass. Fitment was a problem for my guy who installed it. But after it was all fitted and painted... it looked awesome... it's definitely a nice piece. I would however, highly recommend a professional to put it.

I myself prefer the Vielside C1 front bumper, but that's only because I've been loyal to Vielside for many years. They make a quality product. They've been given a bad Rap because they've been around for so long. I guess folks just want something new. However, that's no reason to flame the style. There's abviously a good reason why they've been around for so long.

I have the o.g. Cwest N1 bumper and hit a piece of cardboard on the freeway at 50 mph and ripped a good chunk off my left side side scoop off. All FG front ends are not as strong as Factory bumpers no matter if its replica or not. In my dealings with Japanese FG products and US replicas or originals, The Japanese bodykits seem to be more thinner and more prone to brakage, since they like to keep thier cars light. Some things you might want to do to make your FG frontends alittle bit more stronger is add more fiberglass to areas that you feel are weak, add a reinforcemt from your frame to the front bumper to keep it more stable, or use a thicker paint to make it more rigid. However, if you really like to drive your car, however, I suggest you stay with the factory frontend, since they are so much more durable.
