they are probably all replicas, so fitment probably not good, its usually a hit or miss. I personally have not ordered one but with a car like the evo, I wouldnt settle for nothing but the best! just my .02 cents

I LOVE the C-west front bumper but its just so expensive... You can get the entire replica C-west full body kit shipped to your door from street concept for less than just the true C-west front bumper...

I'm not saying I recommend the street concept, I'm just simply speaking on price. I havent decided what Im going to do yet, but I love the C-west front bumper, I just have to decide if I love it 950bucks +paint and install just for a bumper... Anybody knows who sells the TRUE C-west for the best price?

im curious about the ebay kits as well. my main concern is the front bumper. i like the cwest bumper alot, but incase i ever hit something or crack it, it will be a lot more cost effective to get a replica than spend $900. the bumper on ebay i would like to know more about is the duraflex kit. seems like a good option for a daily driver and better than fiberglass when it comes to cracking. anyone have experience with it?

The answer is obvious, he wants to have the rest of the car match the pine tree air freshener that is hanging form the rearview mirror.

if you cant afford it the real stuff and have to settle for replicas, then you might want to look into a honda cuz the evo aint the right car for you

honestly, you get what you paid for. and you might end up paying more on labour/fiberglass work to make the replica fit.

its probably not a good idea the only way i would consider it is if they are the actual kits that somoene bought but just selling them a little cheaper on ebay.
