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

Looks alright. Not sure if it would fit perfectly or might have to do some modifications to fit.

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?

So how was the fitment Danny? Is this a replica of another kit? Because I've never seen that rear bumper before.

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
