DO NOT BUY IT!!

When it comes to aftermarket parts, you really get what you pay for. There are a reason ebay kits only cost $200. This is actually is the first body kit I ever bought...I don't think from the same vendor, but it was a generic ebay kit. I bought this right after I bought my Cavy 5 years ago and didnt really know much about modding, so I cheaped out and bought this.

The front bumper turned out to be from Andys Auto Sports, the rear and sides were no namers. EVERYTHING fit like complete sh!t. It took a lot of glass work to make it even semi decent. front bumper had gaps under the head lights, flared out from the wheel wells about 4 inches too far, the sides needed to be extended, the rear bumper needed the filler panels under the taillights completely cut off, moved in, and re glassed as the stuck out about 4 inches from the body. Made of poor quality fiberglass, Gel coat was continiously getting stress cracks in it, etc.

Most all ebay kits are like this. I would suggest save up the money and either buy a kit from a good vendor, or look around for one here on the ORG. Seriously if you want to spend $200 on an ebay kit, I'll gladly sell you the one thats sitting in the corner of my garage taking up room.

Just my two cents.
