Ebay body kits legit?
I've soon some pretty inexpensive body kits on Ebay tha claim to be MazdaSpeed. I know you gurus can tell the difference. I would appreciate any advice. The guy fixing my rear door said he'd paid the kit too so it doesn't need to be painted.

They're saying 290 for full kit. Plus an *** load in shipping.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

some guys here have not had the luck in these knock off kits.
only replica kit i reccommend at looking at is the autowerks kit they are a vendor here.
those fiberglass kits they sell are a nightmare.
how much did they quote you on shipping ?

Yeah, some of those cheap fiberglass kits can be a total distaster. Whatever money you save on the kit you'll spend on trying to get the kit to fit right, and even when you do, chances are it'll crack easily even if you drive carefully.

ebay body kits usually suck. They're cheap for a reason.

I've seen examples where one side skirt was 5 inches shorter than the other.
