Question regards to quality of bodykit replica

Hi, it's time for me to get a set of body kit for my 7. I saw some replica for cheap, but I've heard that they have bad quality. I just want to know if their quality is acceptable. If you guys had replica on your car, please post pic and tell me how satisfied you're with the kit. I'm thinking getting the Mazdaspeed GTC kits. Any good replica out there? How about the VIS copy? Thanks for your imput!

It's true that you get what you pay for but you have to understand some things. No matter what kit you get, there will have to be some prepping to make it fit perfect and have a smooth finish. So it just depends on if you want to spend the extra money on prepping or quality. I am kind of against buying "real" kits cause I do all the prep work myself and spend only 1/4 of the price on a replica kit than a real one. And at the end, no one will be able to tell that I have a replica kit on unless they look at the underside of the kit. Let me just say this though, real kits aren't always going to be perfect, I have learned this from experience. Just bought some $1000 fenders that don't fit half as nice as my replica kit.

it depends on who makes the replica, from what I have heard Rotaryextreme's replicas fit nice.
