Like zand02max said, you get what you pay for. You would definitely pay out the @ss to get these kits to look half way decent, and they would crack very easily. Save em for the riced out cavaliers man.

you might be surprised at cheap it is to make a bodykit and what they cost at wholesale. Cant speak for the quality on all of the kits there but there are a few I recognize. If the seller is based out of Cali there is only a few that make kits and everyone else just buys from them and sells as their own.

I bought Nismo sides from an Ebay seller and they fit and look great, I only paid $200 shipped. They had all the holes pre drilled, so I took off the stockers and placed these right on.

If you value your car, don't disgrace it with cheap, brittle, cut and past-on bodykits...

Where do you think C-west and Bomex are manufactured. I'll give you a hint, its not Japan
The R&D is done in Japan, but not manufactured there. Anyhow, you can rely on name brand products to fit perfect but really Ive seen some cheap priced out body kits that are better if not the same as the original manufacture. Ive sold plenty with no complaints but praises. You would be surprised, just like a good old saying goes. "Not everything that shines is gold"

sure cwest and bomex and are made in phillipines and china, but i dont think the molding is done there. The problem with copy kits is you can be down a minimum of one generation or a few, each generation kit you have the worse the fitment gets. The originals are all still made out of the original mold. Another thing is service, if you have issues your likely to get a better response from the original manufacturers.

There are just too many cheapskate Z owners in the U.S. who will pay $300 for a fake part for their car that is of much lesser quality, won't fit properly, is heavy, and won't last...compared to $600 for an authentic performance piece that fits great without modification and will last.
Oh...yeah, and too many losers out there
ahemm that are willing to sell counterfeit bodyparts any try to play them up just to make a quick buck.You're right...."just like a good old saying goes"
You get what you pay for...

Its just best to ignore them, he knows nothing about manufacturing. Just because it has a label it doesn't mean it better than others or will outlast "the copies"
Its a shame if you live your life thinking "You get what you pay for" Cause I can gladly prove you wrong 10000 times that this isn't always true

well I dont care what some people think... the kit looks good from the pictures, I messed up my OEM front bumper and would like not to pay entirely too much to replace something with stock.
I may pick up the kit.

Well like I said before, I bought from the guy on ebay his feedback was 100% and the Nismo sideskirts I bought fit excellent. Why should people pay 600$ when they can get the same thing for 200$, anyways there is always new kits coming out and people decide to change alot, so if you can save the money go ahead.
