I duno, remeber you get what you pay for. So if it really is the kit then its probably cheaply made

Flat shipping rate of $200+? That's called "screwing the buyer." I was a FedEx manager for 3 years. It costs $200 to ship a heavy-*** engine (mounts and all) across the United States. This guy wants $250 to ship some plastic parts? He'll walk into a FedEx or a UPS and probably pay about $30 to ship everything if he can fit it all in one box.

You wouldn't be getting off cheap, man - you'd be getting rapped wallet and all.

Actually, I bet it'd be closer to $100+ to ship as they are pretty long. Weight isn't the only thing they worry about. If its too big they usually have to ship it freight, which costs a bit more.

Either way though, almost every seller on ebay makes a bit of profit off of the shipping. Its how they make everything look so inexpensive.

The big thing that stands out about it for me is that it's fiberglass. I'd never put a fiberglass kit on my car. One bump and it's history...

My brother bought a fiberglass kit off of ebay once. They said it had the same "7 layers" but it looked a little translucent to me. Some areas looked good but others were way too thin plus he destroyed it within a week. I would definitely stay away from fiberglass.

I wouldn't get it if i were you. fiberglass breaks to easy. one wrong bump and that body kit will look horable.
