Question Mazdaspeed kit question....whats wrong with this??

I found this kit at Mazdaspeed kit at rx8garage.net The price is unbeatable. My first question that comes to mind is what is wrong with it. I know I will have to paint it, but what other differences is this and the original? I am ver picky in quality as well.....

Here is the link: http://www.rx8garage.net/?page=shop/...7fb42f8f5baf1&

MS "Style" is not a true Mazdaspeed body kit. I personally know little about this kit, but I would imagine fit and finish have alot to do with the low price.

It's a replica different material from the real ms kit. Usually the replica kits are made of urethae fiberglass. A little easier to crack than its real counterpart. Thew sells the real version also if you look more into the site. If you're a stickler in quality go with the real one.

Buy the real one, it is a lot more safe. if you buy that one, you probably have to pay more money to fit the kit on right. I got the real front bumper, it costed me around 1500 dollar include shipping from finishlineperformance.com
