just buy the real thing, you'll never really be happy with the ****ty *** replica. even if it doesn't crack right in half when you first get it ,rock chips will go right thru it.

that doesn make sense, if you hit a rock big enoungh to go throug a replica bumper it is going to do plenty of damage to the real one.

anyway there are some good replica kits out there. I had a replica veilside on my celica that fit perfect. i was told by another owner of a veilside celica that my replica was better made then his authentic. People dont only buy replicas for cost, they are much more available, I wouldnt want to wait 3 months for a body kit to get here from japan just so i can say its the real one.

my $.02

i meant through the paint, as in chips. i just hate fiberglass kits, if it's polyurethane, then hell go for it, you can just heat it up and shape it

i've just decided to get c-west front bumber, c-west cb hood, chargespeed side skirts, andcharge speed back bumber...all these are legit...but the problem is...the chargespeed kit is fiberglass, but JDM so it'll fit just right...do you think my car will match? and also...this investment is like 2k, so i really appreciate some good advice...versus a c-west replica whole body kit for 800 bucks but the shaping would be a problem.

sounds like a good plan. i should of elaborated more, american fiberglass replica's suck IMO. japenese origanal fiberglass kits, seem to hold up pretty damn nice. your combo should match pretty nicely i think
