Anybody ever deal with origin for FDs?

Searched this site for any info and doesnt seem to have much info on this brand

The only thing i like about the kit is the front bumper and thats all i really have an interest in getting

Thoughts?

Never personally heard of them. Not bad from the front, though it replicates a lot of other kits IMO. Absolutely HIDEOUS taillights.

try to find a pic of the actual bumper on a car or something. that stock pic of the bumper from origin makes the bumper look much more aggressive then it is in reality. The shadows on the oil cooler ducts make them look larger and more aggressive then they are in reality. I used to like this bumper but after seeing an actual pic of it I was not impressed at all. It basically looks like a c-west bumper with a slightly larger mouth and the ducts squared off and simplified, nothing spectacular. Like i said the shadow they use on the origin stock pic 0n the oil cooler ducts is very misleading, look carefully youll see what i mean.

I agree on going full kit instead of mix and matching.

I had no problem on fitting my Origin full kit and the oil cooler ducts are huge, they are wider and taller then stock and wrap further around. Only if you start adding FRP widebody does gaps start to need some creativity like what I had to go through in my garage.

Here is mine as it sits now, you can see how big the space in the front end is:
