Reputable Body Kit?

This is a replica kit of the Black Illusion kit for the X. Love the Illusion, but 4k isnt avaible to spend on a kit these days, so maybe I could settle for this. Anyone ever heard of this or the company or anything? thanks. dont want to pay 800 bucks for a pos kit

if thats for full carbon fiber, then something is wrong with that price IMO...other then that, the fitment on them pictures look.....ehh, a little "loose"....

looks good nonetheless but its up to you...your the one with the final decision...if you want my feedback, id rather either settle for another bodykit, put the money into power mods, or just save a lil more and find something else thats worth the money...

says its fiberglass...and i would guess that the fitment isnt great...ive dealt with fiberglass kits before and unless you KNOW its a good kit with good fiberglass and fitment...i wouldnt bother. Also...you would want a body shop that is comfortable with fiberglass and also understand that its easy to crack, chip or break fiberglass kits.

id rather buy the OEM lip kit, or buy a nice front lip and forget the rest or even a carbon lip with carbon sides , by like Jun or a high end brand...

ull probably end up spending more on trying to get it to fit and paint than it is to get the real one... unless u can live with crappy fitment.

unfortunately the body kit is not full cf, the company said they just did that for a demo. Im worried because I cant find a single other person who has put this "knock off" on their car

If you don't want to spend $4000, buy an $800 kit and then spend $3000 more getting it properly prepped/modded/fitted/painted.

^^

How can you compare the 2 prices when the:

- 4K is supply only for Genuine Black Illusion

vs

- 3.8K for knock off kit drive away

You didnt factor in shipping for both. Not hard to see which option is lighter on the wallet.

Some ppl prefer Geniune, some ppl prefer to save dollars no matter what. The OP just needs to decide what philosophy he wants to follow.
