ttpowerd has a good deal.

This place is cheap and they still want $1200 for the whole kit, I think without lights.

I like the C-West kit a lot. That's the one that I'm going with. My only question is will a replica fit right?

No remember the one that's going to be up for auction will be kind of a color changing paint, so I don't think it will match.. j/k Seriously though buy from rotary extreme, he's a good guy and a memeber here. As for it fitting as good as the original, you get what you pay for, and sometimes the originals don't fit quite right from what I have heard. Alhough the originals are usually stronger.

i think you guys mean knockoff, not reaplica...right??

besides the fitment and quality of the kit, i think the main downside, IMO, is the fact that you know you have a knockoff body kit. but thats just me. personally, i would never be satisfied knowing that i had a knockoff kit.

just my .02

Yea JoeD is right on that account. Give yourself piece of mind. Mainly my thinking here is that if you afford the FD (and this means knowing already what it was before you bought it), then you can afford to give it the high quality parts it so rightfull deserves. Don't skimp on the parts you can see...especially the body kits. And that kiddies, is my .02

Actually, I don't see anything wrong with "knockoffs" or "replicas" sometimes..

If someone is just buying the cheapest kit, which would be a knockoff, and not spending any money on performance, then I think the knockoffs are bad.. When someone is just making the car "look" more aggressive without backing it up..

But if someone runs out and spends thousands of dollars on upgrades, and then gets a knockoff body kit, I don't have a problem with it what so ever. At least they used their money where it counts...
