I think you get what you pay for. the reason why the real kits are so damm expensive is becuase they fit the best. Much better quality. thats just my 2 cents.

the best kits arn't necessarily the stock ones... i.e. the sccot by rotaryextreme is better than the real scoot

As far as quality, IMO Importfan has great quality. Had a Cwest bumper and was suprised by the finish/quality for the price. It was really better quality then I expected. And I've also seen much much worse.

To my knowledge, i can understand why some of you think that lower price could mean lower quality, Hey! thats a fact of life, right?

In some cases i can see why this would be right, but on the other hand, lets not forget that most of the REAL Bomex kits for Fd's are sold for over 1000$ all over the internet, BUT HyperperformanceWhosale sells them for 658$ for the fact that he's one of the best seller for Bomex. Imagine the price saving on a kit just because you sell more for that provider. Its also a factor to the prices range of supliers.

my 2 cents

what are you talking about?WRONNG!
None of these come close to the 658$ for original bomex kit from wholesale.

If you are not in Southern California, you should be OK.

People in SoCal who are familiar with them can probably go further into detail.

Sorry to be so ambiguous, but the mere mention of their name is bad luck.

Plus u should really learn to look at the fist page that says weve cut prices by 50%, and then when you click usa price list you get this
http://www.bomexaero.com/newprice/newPrice.htm $693.50 for the full kit

They suck. I "tried" to ordered a the CF 15th ann. wing from them back in December when it was selling for $199 becasue of overstock and got an e-mail comfirmation or the order. But never recieved the wing. After 3 weeks I e-mailed customer support as to the status of the order with no response. I did this 3 times with no luck. I also e-mailed the VP of the company after 5 weeks who also didn't respond to my e-mail. Here it is Feb. and still nothing. I gave up hope long ago. Luckily they didn't charge my CC. I will NEVER deal with them again.
