These are not oem parts. They're fiberglass replicas of the MS parts.

If they look exactly the same as the MS parts, what's the downside of fiberglass replicas, if there are?

Fiberglass = easy to crack

Have u seen rice cars w/ cracked body kits? They're fiberglass kits.

Get the Urethane body kit. Durable as OEM kit. OEM kits are made of urethane.

EDIT : Fiberglass kits usually fit poorly or even dont fit at all.

Avoid urethan knockoffs of the MS kit. I've seen some in REAL life, and they start to sag. If you are going to get a kit get a REAL one. It's worth it. Not to mention once you get fit (TONS of work) and paint charges, the fiberglass knockoff ends up being about the same as the real MS kit which comes painted and should just fit.

Search the forum. Someone tried the experiment.
