Question MS kit replicas......

Hey guys,

I know there has been post about this before,


But i just want to know what you guys think.

Ive always been a huge fan of the MS body kit, but I cant justify spending the 3-4 grand on it, especially with university expenses. BUT, I definately can afford the replica kits i see on ebay fro 299, or the ones on Auto Accessory store for something like 430-450 US.

If I was to get one of these kits.... Am I to expect them to no fit at all, or to be mangled, or will they be fine??

Because I love the look of the MS kit, and 400 bucks is dirt cheap.... So do you think its worth it to buy the parts?

I just dont want them to be all messed up so they dont fit my car, or look really crappy.

Help a brotha out

basically, people said it was crap. I didn't get one, but i was following up on the threads. The first ones fit ok, but still needed a lot of work. The other ones i heard just sucked, bad fitment and stuff. I remember one guy saying its not worth to get because ur going to spend more money fixing it up. Unless you have hookups to a body shop/ I dont think its worth the time and money to get ebay replicas. I would go for aerowerks, or carbon creations is starting one too, not released yet, but in the process. Or u can always get the real MS kit, it is expensive though.

Run a search before asking next time. It helps cut down on duplicate posts.

Also, there is the Areowerks kit, which is urethane, which is good, but still not as good as the real thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that I said I hate it when people change avatars (because I look at avatars before I look at usernames), but I started using this on AIM and wanted to have something that people would recognize me by... I didn't say NEVER change, just don't change every other day (like shellys_man and Mazda Maniac did for awhile).

This one looks like me, and it should be around for at least another 3-6 months...
