This is just my personal opinion, but i would never buy something like that from ebay, those body kits are usually cheap and poorly fitted. I have heard to many horror stories about stuff bought off of ebay. It comes down to the old adage, you get what you pay for.

Just to remind you people the PDM kit is around this price range. Secondly, i would buy direct from the company and not from EBay. Thirdly it sounds like i need to just call the company and see what they say (and judge the BS level).

the whole kit under 300 dollars?.. my assumption is those won't fit right even after mayor prep work and what not.. and the bodyshop will charge you for all that work.. so money wise at the end of the day it will come out to you spending jsut about as much as if you would have gone with a more expensive kit... but still deal with the fact that it wont' look right or fit all together.. quality is everything as well.. cheap fiberglass breaks easily if your gonna drive around everyday....

see i understand that no matter how much I pay there will still be required trimming and molding and that is fine, I have approximately 3 months to work on the car.....

Yes, that means i will be doing all the work myself and repairing the fiberglass is easy and cheap to do, while urethane repair is alot more complicated and often does nto turn out as well....

"May require some prep work to fit correctly" should be enough to make the decision for you.
