Depends on how it fits...how stable the material is.....and how much trouble it's going to be to install and paint. If it is good quality..and fits/looks good....can't beat that price.

Buyer beware though you usually get what you pay for!!!

Yes, I haven't personally bought any knock-offs but a friend of mine did. He said that it was such a pain in the butt that it was worth paying extra for the real deal just to save the time and hassle.

it is true that they are really cheap, they have the whole body kit for the Rx-8 for less than $700, but the problem is that it is made of really cheap fiberglass, it will look good when painted but it will be difficult to install, it might not fit right and it will look crappy, but some work really godd.

you get what u pay for. I would straight up ask them what is wrong with it. There really shouldnt be any reason for it to be that cheap.

you're better off buying the real Mazdaspeed kit cause they come painted from factory, no need to haggle with the bodyshop workers who will keep you ride for more than a few weeks to work on the cheaper kit.

That's just my 2 pesos. :p
