IMO, I wouldn't do it, because seller hasn't guaranteed fitment or full refund if any issues with it--seems kinda shady. His reply to your fitment question, "How safe the bodykit fits depends on how good your body shop installs it", shows me he's ready to blame everyone else but himself once you complain that it doesn't fit.... Also, I noticed the grill is molded into the bumper. Not sure if that's normal for most other aftermarket body kits, but that just looks tacky IMO... Just my .02, but good luck...

I Bought That Same Kit From The Same Seller And If You Want To Spend $$$$ For Fitment Then Go Ahead. (READ MY FEED BACK ABNERG35) A Good Body Shop Can Do It BUT YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT. Mine Looks Good Now But It Was A Pain In The A$$. Go Authentic Imo. Or Buy From Someone That Has A Fitment Guarantee

for starters it's on ebay, that is your first hint. 2nd, it is not even poly urethane, it's says that it is Poly-Fiber Reinforced Plastic (PFRP)? WTF is that!

It is a replica Kenstyle kit, and after a long discussion with Klumzyee, even the genuine $3000 Kenstyle kit has fitment issues, what makes you think this $300 will have any better fitment issues. If anything it will probably be worse, since the guy completley avoided your question.

Yet on the other side it is only $300. it could be the luckiest buy of your life or a waste of $300.

Purchase with caution.

Poly-fiber is a lightwieght material that's usually used as coating for aircrafts that are made out of lightweight composite materials. A flexible version of fiber reinforced plastic, poly-fiber reinforced plastic is much better than fiberglass, but IMO not as good as polyurethane. The attractive thing about PFRP is that it can be made for about the same price as fiberglass. The bad thing about PFRP bodykits is that some manufacturers try to save even more money by not using as much of the materials for the kits, making the parts very fragile.
