There's some nice quality knockoffs out there, but they're not sold on ebay or places that spell body kits with a "z" at the end. Sometimes original stuff fits like crap too. Best way, imo, is to look around on forums, for kits other ppl have bought, look at their pics, and then ask how much work needed to be done to get the fitment. I know for a fact that the authentic Nismo diffuser for my car fits like crap, and the Kuruma and Ravspec replicas fit perfectly, and the latter is available in CF.

Dude, don't get me wrong, MOST of the time the authentic would have better fit. But if it were the other way around, then it'd be pathetic and no one would buy authentic. Most well fitting replicas aren't very cheap, and are hand laid, made by enthusiasts that own the car. Every car I've ever owned, I've found individuals that make replicas for the community that are of good quality, for a good price. There's a guy on g35driver, called Klumzyee or something like that, makes awesome replicas. Cheaper than authentic, and BETTER quality and fitment. When I had my 240SX, Bing supplied some kick-*** aero at a fantastic price, and a lot of the pieces were greatly improved on.
