Big problem with choice

Guys, I ahve a biiig problem. For couple months I want re-paint all body of my rx-8 ( titanium grey), and I want buy a new bumpers. And I don't know:
buy a replicas of MS rear bumper, side skirts and front bumper ( I thinking about ATH front bumper ) or buy oryginal MS products?
Oryginal MS are pre-painted and better quality, but anyway I must re-paint all body, and if I change a color tone of grey I must paint MS stuff as well. I'm afraid that with replicas I been have bog problems with fit, and I don't want 10pounds of putty on every part.
I hope, that someone help me

The choice is easy.

Stick with OEM colors and get the authentic ms kit and you will have no problems.

As far as the repainting..I don't know what to tell you. But as far as the bodykit, going replica is taking a risk. Yes there has been people who went that direction and made the kit fit good and look good. But IMO I would get the authentic kit. I got the authentic MS front and replica sides. Although I made the sides fit, I still would have rather had authentic sides.

FYI, you can purchase the authentic MS body parts in primer if you're concerned about the paint matching. Not sure about the shipping to Ireland thing.
