ebay kit = wasted money, and tons of fitment,reliability, and durability issues.
A 300 dollar kit is going to look like a 300 dollar kit, why skimp on a 30k car?

I like this kit , if they don't make this kit for those Acura TL and Mazda 3 and Scion TC and Honda Civic and Acura integra and Mitshi eclipse. I would have got it 1.5 year ago when I was struggled between this one or the D1-GT
i like it because it looks very similar to the Mazdaspeed GT kit ( FD3S )
and just beacuse it's not JDM doesn't mean it's bad

A crapy Ebay kit has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with being JDM, and everything to do with people making cheap *** knock offs of shizzle, then selling it to some porr sap who thinks they're getting a great deal when all they're getting is half assed parts and months of drama from trying to either a) make the shitty kit work or b) try to send back shitty kit and get $ back while the company who "guaranteed" fitment is telling them over the phone that "their product is not oem, so it will not fit perfectly" and "all kits sold as is, no warranty, but we have 24 hour support!" which translates into "buy this kit (or any other knock off), get ripped off, then go ahead and try and get your $ back, we'll just ignore your calls, delete your messages, and torment your unborn children while we laugh our way to the bank with your $" (all joking aside, I reall wish people would stop buying from companies such as this, they just make it that much harder for the companies that actually produce/back reputable products)

tc sportline isnt actually a bad company though....i have the oem style cf hood and its not terrible.....they happen to sell kits on ebay but they arent as bad as some other manufacturers.....i am not vouching for the integrity but you cant put something down just because it sells on ebay.....sure there is junk and knock offs but not everything is fake....if you do a little research it could pay off and be a cheaper outlet to buy things....i know i buy and sell things on ebay and everything i have sold is legit....its the same with allot of companies and people

Interesting you say that, because I was thinking the same thing when I saw the kit listed on Ebay, it does indicate a 4 peice kit including a rear.....but from the pics, looks like a MS replica rear to me.

The idea of the kit is nice, but it doesn't work with our car. The little slits under the lights are nice ideas, but all the slits actually due is expose some of the ugly frame of the car.

^ I'd take that FD also and add a Scoot hood. Paint it black and add ... a 4 rotor. There was a silver FD with this kit and the Scoot hood that had an NA tuned 4 rotor engine in it featured in Banzai magazine a while ago. It had something like 650hp~ or so.

Needless to say ... it was sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
