Are these guys selling knockoffs or real stuff?

http://www.body-kit.com/maz04rx8ms.html


The picture looks like its the real kit (it has the bumber bar cover) but obviously the picture could just be from anywhere. I heard someone mention something along the lines of that website sucking. Opinions? Price I was quoted seemed too low to be authentic, but I didn't know if it had anything to do with black friday sales time.

ohp, right you are, i didnt look carefully. thats the bar itself.

guess i'll stay clear. more and more i'm leaning towards biting the bullet and getting an authentic MS front bumper. Though I heard some people complain about cracking, but others said its durable.

i have heard that vis body kits fit pretty good and if you are thinking of going for replica maybe you should check them out.

I had a good experience when I ordered my cspec fenders. They was only 500 shipped which isnt bad and the fitment is actually pretty spot on besides they need body filler because there is waves down them

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3138827/2 Pictures of the cspec fenders out of the box on the bottom of the page.. I like em. But do need a little work before paint..

Oh I see. Didn't know they went by Magnum. Pity they are fiberglass though. I hear that material is prone to cracking.

Just got a quote: $850 shipped for the whole package (front, rear, sides) and $350 shipped individually (sides or front or rear)

If it really is OEM quality that's a steal
