The risk is you have no idea how to work was performed. Maybe it looks fine, I think the body gaps look terrible. The bumper and fenders/trim are wrong, the only reason to back date a front end is to save money on the repair.
Maybe it looks fine. Maybe nothing rattles or falls off. How does it respond in the next front end collision? Was the SRS module replaced or reset in a garage by a dude named Vlad?
Salvage cars are cheap for a reason. I would hesitate to finance anything with a salvage title and rely on it as a daily. Cash out of pocket for a second car? Sure. But it's going to be sub $10k.
