Bodykit help!
So recently crashed my rx8, and am looking into getting a body kit that would cover my front and rear bumper damages. I am looking for a kit that wasn't going to kill the bank and found a few that I liked(price in mind) and I have been reading on the forum that body kits depend on the cost. So I am wondering if this kit is even worth considering? Help and logical explanations would be greatly appreciated. Constructive critisizm

I am just wondering if any else has delt with this kit or not. I really am buying it for the skirts and rear bumper. They are gorgeous, the front... Ehhh but I can manage. How much does it usually cost to get a body kit fitted professionally and paint matched?

The kit is called "Mint Blue"
personally I'm not a fan of the rear or sides, I just rock the front end.
I know others who have had some terrible fitment out of this kit though so be careful if you buy replica.
I did buy rep because I couldn't wait months for authentic to arrive from japan,
Althought I did buy replica, I didn't get the cheapest one. I purchases from AIT racing and fitment was pretty decent. Maybe like 7/10. Required about 10 hours of fitment work which I did with a friend and then I just had it painted at a shop.
I made a thread about it with the step-by-step process, hope its useful!

Awesome thanks a lot! You have a link to this whole kit by chance? And if I didnt buy this kit, I was looking at the competition kit off ebay as well. Any thoughts on those? Like replica quality? Or If its the real brand?

I dunno man. I personally wouldn't buy anything off ebay because you lose the customer service aspect of it.
AIT racing is where I purchased the front bumper from, check out their website
