how about people post visual evidence of this so called perfect fit, some peoples standards are going to be different. to make it on the list it must be visually apparent that the gaping in the seams are nice and to what extent of work has gone into the item to achieve that fitment....
Otherwise this thread is completely useless,,,

A) This thread is almost exactly 2 years old.

B) This thread was a silly idea to begin with.

Good intentions but won't tell much in the real world...

old pics of shine auto project fitment.

The lines matched up perfectly with little fitment issues. I spent about 1400 dollars for the entire kit (the kit itself 900, 500 to paint and little fitment issues)

My vis hood wasn't the best quality. It seemed to tilt a little to the right and started bubbling after 4 days.

There is an overall fundemental flaw with this thread, and I have evidence to prove it. the problem with replica bodykits is that they are not going to be consistantly good or bad, thats just the truth, no way around it. Case in point, I happen to have two sets of Shine replica Burnout sideskirts, guess what? they are completely different, one fits ok, still needed some tweaking, the other, is horrendous, how something comes out of a mold and ends up being 2 inches longer than it should be is a prime example of why people need to create threads like this in the first place. I see that even now people are slotting the same item into both categories, again its just due to the nature of the products...
Its just a risk you are going to have to be willing to take,,,
The other side of the spectrum is you could pay a much higher price to the Original Manufactuer and inusre that it will fit and be the best quality materials possible,,,

Also, one may reject a part due to a problem that others will accept as being fine. We also have members calling one manufacture bad due to parts that weren't even made for the RX8.

Why'd you bother bumping for a useless post .... The last post on this thread was 4 years ago.
