Don't you need a lot more than this? I thought the front fenders and rear door where different as well.

Looks like pure junk. Would you really want a FIBREGLASS!!! bumper?!??

Btw, a real steel 463 bumper is about US$800, not the $1400 he quotes.

Also, I'm pretty sure the seller is present here on this Forum.

I was just curious - not trying to say anything pro/con about the auction. I thought there was more body differences to the 460/1 and 463 than the items pictured.

Regarding the fiberglass bumper - have you looked at a 2002-4 US G500 rear bumper? It isn't metal! I assume something underneath is. I just had mine re-aligned (it was sagging w/ an uneven gap at the rear quarters behind the wheel) at the dealer and it is pretty flexible.

There is. As you stated, the front fenders are different, too.

With regards to the fibreglass rear bumper - not a big deal; but in the front? Not for me, especially after seeing what happened to my steel front bumper with a front hit.[xx(]

Right on! You can't blame a guy for trying to make a buck, though - can you?[:p]

It is if you misrepresent it.

When it comes to vehicles, in the USA we have disclosure laws. If you know that it has a problem; and you don't disclose it, you're wide open for a lawsuit.

That's doesn't seem to be the case with this conversion kit, though.

You have a good point ... but that obligation only goes that farin common law (UK). You don't have to disclose EVERYTHING[}:)]... unless asked about it!

But lets not get into legal stuff where there is no need:):) They are boring:)
