Default sister ownage! new front end in the process

first things first: my sister backed into my car and destroyed my front bumper!!

anyways.. shes going to replace it for me and i was shopping around. initially i was going with the SHINE N2 replica, http://www.shineautoproject.com/specn2.htm, just simply because there has been nothing but positive feedback on their products. filament, shaping, etc.

i happened to check ebay just for the heck of it; i know, i know, its ebay. stumbled across this, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...Q5fAccessories and thought id ask you experts out there what yall thought. is it worth the extra money to just go through SHINE or do yall thing ill be alright with the lesser of the two??

also one other quick question.. the only different i noticed right off the bat was the differences in filament.
SHINE: Hybrid FRP
EBAY: Poly-fiber reinforced plastic (PFRP)

any real noticeable difference in the two??

thanks.

Buying body kits on ebay, is like looking for chicks at wal-mart.

id go with the shine auto. You know the fitment if good, and so is the quality. And you dont have to worry if you buy it from ebay if the fitment is good? is the seller going to have good communication and blah blah. Spend the extra money and get the shine!

I don't know about the filament, but I heard the fitment is good on the Shine front bumper.
