Ebay Bodykit

Is anyone aware of this bodykit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:B:AAQ:US:1

The seller assumes that he designed the bodykit and he is manufacturing it himself. It is made of GRP plastic (Is that good?)

Did you notice that it is located in the UK. Shipping add overseas shipping charges onto the listed price.

no it is not the ings kit. it is a replica version of it though. the grills in the front bumper are bigger than the real ings and the rear looks to have the fabulous middle section rather than stock.

I have the V1 Veilside rear. It bolts on BELOW the number plate housing. I think you are being sold a pup

Its more of a hybrid between the Ings and MS. I'd have to see it on the car before I can give a real opinion.

ebay kit=bad,waste of time,money,nightmarish fit and so on and so forth....

legit real kit from reputable manufacturer/vendor= more money, less headaches, better quality,fitment, durability

why oh why would anyone ever want a 300 dollar kit for a 30,000 car? please stop the madness, save up, do it right, or regret it forever.

Some people like to save money.

Others like to be cheap.

but that's what i'm trying to say, it's not cheaper as it will cost you more to replace later, repair more often, the labor charges to get it to fit even halfway right, you are soooooo much better off buying the real deal, not only that, but buying the real stuff gives the right companies money, why support a knock off that's made like ****, from a company that will not back up their stuff, doesn't fit right yet they sell it anyway, they cheat on their feedback on ebay, they cheat on their website with reviews, please for the love of sparing future owners some grief, save up, do it right, or regret it forever. My car is almost done, I will be posting up a FULL story when I get some good pics of it, after reading it you will understand why I am saying what I'm saying.
