Has anyone bought a bodykit from japanparts.com?

I am looking at getting an auto-bahn bodykit from japanparts, i was hoping to get some feedback on past experience from someone who has used them before, what are the quality of the kits. is it as easy as the wbsite says to get the kit to my location?

It's a good website if your looking for authentic kits. I've never ordered from there but have seen them be referred plenty of times. Since their kits are authentic they should have pretty good fitment as well.

Yes I have, got my Kenstyle kit there... japanparts.com doesn't make them but get the authentic product directly from the company I guess. Quality is as good as the company advertise them to be so check these on their main website first. Although mine had a small gap on the left front bumper at the side markers area but that was easily fixed.

I can only speak for Kenstyle, the FRP material is very good coz its tough, slightly flexible and very very light, I was able to hold the front bumper easily with 2 to 3 fingers 1 handed. All fitment screws, bolts, brackets were provided.

Originally I wanted to get the rear only but it was cheap (for authentic) the front and side turn out to please me too. The front actually seals the bottom unlike the Mazdaspeed which leaves small gaps.

yes, I got my R-magic stuff there

like ^^ said, they are just the distributor.... but like the Kenstyle stuff.. the R-Magic parts are very high quality, even the pre-painted parts from them match in color... all around there are no complaints except for price... but if you want to play you got to pay

I used them to buy my Leg Motor Sport CF lip. They were the only company that would import it to the US. There customer service is top notch.

I've seen them on a few car forums selling parts and I've never herd anything bad at all. They used to do a lot of group buys on the MR2 spyder forum too.
