I own a SA fibreglass from fenixprops. I bought mine fully painted and am very happy with it. Turnaround time was about 2 months from purchase to delivery.

I have bought gloves from Customsprops, the last picture. I like their gloves (which are ROTS style, by the way). The helmet in their photo appears to be the same mold as the fenixprops. If you will look, the "point" at the bottom front of the helmet is slightly asymetrical. Something only fellow Royal Guards will notice. Since I own opne, I can see it from looking at their photo that they are probably the same mold.

They are both from the same original company. They just split off. Both are 501st Members.

I also have a Fenixprops (fiberglass) and I'm very happy with it
Mine was unpainted (I've also bought the robes from them; delivery 3 months in total incl. robes)
When the helmet came out of the box, I could paint it with little or almost no sanding.
There were some minor cracks in the fiberglass thought, but none were larger than 1/4 inch and they were all "surface-cracks", so no cracks throught the entire fiberglass; It was more like minor gapfilling that cracks.
Helmet is very good for someone with a "bigger" head; I wouldn't fit in a DP helmet but the FP has even room to spare.
