I Found This bodykit on eBay that resembles the $800 Erebuni bodykit, its nice and subtle, and its really cheap, but i know that you get what you pay for, so i was looking for some of your opinions on this. has anyone got a kit like this on eBay or know anything about them? is it as good of a deal as it sounds, or is there a catch, i dont want a bodykit thin as cardboard or made of cheap plastic. anyway, heres the link :

Any info on this would help a lot.

thanks guys.

I bought my kit off of ebay and it looks pretty good,
The front bumper (which EVERYBODY told me would not fit properly
at all) fit really well, the rear fit good also, just dont really like the
style it is. As for the sides the passenger side fits well, and the driver
side has about 2cm gap near the front tire. All in all i would say i am
very happy with the purchase, not only did it give my car the look i
was going for it was also fairly inexpensive. Although I would
HIGHLY recommend you getting it fitted, cut, fiberglassed, or
anything it may need done at a professional shop. When i first got the
kit i was so excited i tryed to fit it myself...BAD IDEA!!! Im not terrible
with cars, just not good with fiberglass! So if you have a reputable shop
that is good with fiberglass, and have installed a body kit before, I say
go for it. But just beware of the chance the kit could fit so bad it may
may need molding. So if you are willing to take a chance that it may
fit wrong, slightly off, anything of the sort then just make sure it is
what you want to do! Good luck my friend, and i hope my info helps
you on your quest!

P.S. Here is something you should read if you have not already.

Well the shop MAY need to see the kit before installing. They will
most likely want to know what they are working with and about
how much work they would need to do. I would say with fitting, prep,
and paint it would run maybe $300-$400 (or that were the typical
quotes here in TX). But luckily i found a shop to do it for $200 so i
got a steal! Well let me know when your kit comes in! I really want
to know how it looks and fits on your car! Best of luck my friend!
