Default Ebay Body Kits

Hey guys whats up? I had a quick opinion question on Ebay body kits. I really love the Amuse front end look as well as the new nismo front end. I have an 07 Touring in PPW and was contemplating a new front. On the nismo shop they have the new nismo front for 450ish where as this company is offering the sick AMUSE style front end with skirts and rear for about the same price as just the front on the nismo shop. However I have never purchased a kit before, but are kits generally you get what you pay for? Or is this a pretty decent kit? I dont want something that will crack/chip in 6 months. Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated!

Ya Greg I think for sure Ill be hitting you up for that Amuse style front bumper and possibly the rear as well! I have the Amuse Powerhouse exhaust and love it. So far Im a big fan of Amuse and their styling.

There is no such thing as a eBay body kit. There are retails who advertise and sell on eBay, but no eBay kit. Some retailers sell quality kits. Some sell garbage.

Thats what I was getting at...not necessarily EBAY kits, just that particular one I was looking at. The price was good and I just wondered if it was rubbish or not, historically speaking the quality of Ebay sold kits, cos that particular one was pretty inexpensive.

What happens with an inexpensive kit is fit and finish. Fit must be tweaked. Time consuming and expensive. Finish requires preparation before painting. Also time consuming and expensive.

Many vendors on here sell **** on ebay. Besides the kids here trying to up their post count listen to davidv. the amount you dont spend in a quality kit you spend on your body shop trying to make it fit right
