I like this kit but i'm leary of any ebay kit just cause the quality has to be shotty and the fitment worse but if you can change my mind I wouldn't mind picking this thing up.

I have yet to see an aftermarket kit that was truely bolt on, that didn't need some fileing, sanding, or other work.

do ebay kits fit any worse than regular kits?

I got two kits for my miata off ebay and they were both different but still both needed slight modification.

The basic answer is if you think you are going to bolt it on and paint it up dont bother with any kit.

If you are willing to spend a few hours sanding and fitting it then it is well worth it.

You might want to talk to the person and check feedback but tell them in advance that if you do not have the kit in 30 days you will file with paypal to get your moneyback. ALWAYS pay with a credit card because they will stand behind you way better than paypal. Not sure if you know but with paypal protection you only have 30 days to file.

well i'm not much worried about the seller, it looks like the few feedbacks he has are all good but I once went to a body shop and they where installing some aftermarket front fenders from ebay onto a civic and those ******* came so far away from the hood that it had about a one inch gap. After I saw that I was like man I will never buy anything like that from ebay however what would you do in that situation?

Paypal is 45 days.

Here is what you do if you buy a kit and it is horrible you try to get the company to refund the money and pick up the kit at their expense (they will not do this) then you tell your C.C. company that they wont cooperate. All you need is a body shop to say that they are unuseable and your C.C. company will back you up and refund your money.

That needs major modifacation for a S4 it was made for a S5. Thats the bomex kit and I talked to them directly about it. I ended up buying the BMagic kit for my S4, it was design for it. The fit was almost perfect with VERY LITTLE modifacation needed considing your car is straight.I was easy to put on too. The BMagic kit mounts under the molding which was why it fits nicely and easily.

so whats so differant about the s4 and s5 if your taking off the bumpers and putting new ones on? people do this with s4's all the time when they want to put on s5 bumpers?? Am I missing something?

Only thing missing is you'll need S5 signals.

the true bomex kit fits quite nicely I must personally say.


But since thats a knock off I don't really know how well it would fit - however really, they will all require some effort to really make them look nice. So whether you spend XXX on knock of A or XXXXX genuine A you'll still have to do some body work. Its just that when you compare slapping on genuine A and painting it as opposed to slapping on knock off A - the genuine will fit a bit nicer off the get-go. (in most cases)

I'd say for HUGE chunk of change you'll save over buying the genuine bomex you'll have ample savings to accomidate a few extra hours of fitment

i think it depends on the shop ive seen replica GP Sports off ebay fit great

My point being that it wouldn't be a great choice if you are buying this for aerodynamic reasons.

A really well designed body kit can add downforce while decreasing drag. Which means you will get better gas mileage, improced top end accelleration, faster high speed cornering, and a higher top speed.

But, like most "aerodynamic" enhancements on the market, includign spoilers, this probably won't provide the benefits a really well designed product can produce.

Is it just me or does that kit make the FC look like an MR2?

But I think the fitment will depend on if the company is reputable or not. But don't ever expect any kit to just bolt up with zero modification. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening.

ok thanks guys, I really need to re rebuild my engine again but when it's time to get into the show aspect of the car I'm going to get this kit and then have the installer spend a little time on fitment if it requires it.
