09 accident Nov. 2025. Destroyed Fascia. Looked for 2 months for OEM and no luck. Ordered fiberglass one. Took it to body shop and they played with it for 4 hrs. and said it does not fit. I have at least 20 hrs. into trying to make it fit. Had to remove almost 1in. of material between headlights. Had to move all 4 mounting brackets. Finally got the left side to match up to fender but the right side is at least 1/2in. out and it will not come in. Right side of hood is 1/2 in out and the left side is rubbing. This looks to me like a very poorly made fascia for $1400.00. Hit it with air compressor to clean and blew it apart. (see photos). Has anyone else purchased or used a front end from Limbotics? I am still trying to find an OEM one.

Brian Jones is your best bet. Have you tried him yet? If he doesn’t have multiple in stock right now he will let you know when he has another in.

There are many sources for take-off OEM parts. I would never install that fiberglass junk. Wait for an OEM.

Reminds me of when I dealt with a fiberglass Hennessy fascia decades ago. First and last. Never again.

I found this online. I don’t know anything about them, supposedly legit. Do your homework though.

So I sent the glass junk back and am waiting for refund. With all the hours I had into it and what the body shop said. We can make it fit for a price. If I had decided to let them make it fit and by the time it was painted I would have had a $30,000.00 glass front end. I did find an OEM one that is in perfect condition. Never again with glass.

Good decision

And stories like this is why I have nightmares about getting into a fender bender with my Viper... around here it would mean writing off my car.
