ebay body kits!
Hey guys. So I have a MS replica front bumper that fits nicley but I'm sick of the cracking and i think i'd rather just get a Urathane bumper. So not really anyone on these forums is looking to sell a urathane bumper, so I went on ebay and found a bunch. one of which is local and at a resonable price, $300, primered. Just wondering if anyone has any expierence with ebay body kit parts and how they fit and the quality, ill attatch the link to the one i'm considering below, thanks guys!

I see. Ok i tried searching before but couldn't find those. It seems all people were saying is fiberglass ebay sucks, nothing about urathane. Also, is that aeroworks company still around?

Any kit would fit if you spend enough time & money.
For Duraflex, aka Extreme Dimensions , aka Carbon Creation =
Search for Extreme Dimensions and you will see how bad they are.

Ok well I messaged the dude on ebay. He's in Brea, pretty close to me. He said he said if the bumper doesnt fit extremely well I have a full refund, don't know if i should take his word on that.
And don't worry I know ED is crap.
There's no way I can afford an authentic, and i'd cry if I cracked it or something. Isn't authentic some version of fiberglass?

Seibon's stuff are hand made.
It is depend on which batch you got and how lucky you are.
My friend bought doors, rear hatch & hood for his 350Z from Seibon.
Only hood fits perfectly in first time.
But Seibon are kind enough to replace those parts until they fit right in.
I got my rear skirt from them.
I'm quite lucky that it fits with some minor adjustment.

The MS front is fiberglass, but it's supported with brackets throughout. I think if it was any other bumper that was on my car, it would've ripped apart.
It really depends on where you live but you should expect at least some damage on your front bumper if your car is lowered.

with all of my experiences with bodykits, i know that there will never be a perfect bodykit because they all have their flaws to them, but some more then others. the ol sayin you get what you pay is so very true in most cases. ive seen some high dollar bodykits come very close to fitting, needing very little work by my body guy and ive seen some people be cheap about the kit and the body shop is left trying to fiberglass it all together.
think about this, if you were to purchase a car and you had to pick between a car with a great body on it or a car with all kinds of bodywork done to it, which one would you go with? with that being said, spend the extra on a kit because youll be payin just as much for a bodyguy to be prepping it to fit which will cause it to crack and break apart in the end.
also, if it doesnt workout for ya, who will pay for the shippin?
