Im looking to get the instant gentalmans kit by supermade which is $1200, but i also found the kit for $500 but just isnt mabe my supermade. There both made out of fiberglass. Does this mean that the other kit is a piece of s*** or what? If any one can shine some light on my delima im having. Thanks

One's knockoff and one ain't? :gotme

Seriously, man... It's a Chaser Kit. These kits for guys who do care about their kits because they're just gonna get ripped off and busted up drifting anyways. Buy it and be done. Chaser's fitment is usually ok enough to satisfy the not very picky buyer.

I honestly don't dig this body-kit at all, but that's just my opinion.

I think the quality of the supermade and the non-supermade would probably be different for the price.

For instance maybe if someone jumped on the supermade it wouldn't crack and just bend, but if you jumped on the non-supermade it'd probably damage it in some way.

I THINK the quality of the non-supermade would be not sh*tty but it probably isn't as durable.

But a crash is a crash and they're probably going to get busted the same way.

one thing to remember with fiberglass kits...it the fitment isent dead on...you may break it fitting it anyways...most no name brand kits are cheeply made and crack or even spidercrack out when trying to fit in tight places...i like the duraflex kits..there still a fiber based product..but with a plastic resin for flexibility..there forgiving like no other...good luck

I have the real SM kit and it fit like a glove. If you get the fake one you will most likely spend more money trying to get it to fit right then just buying the real thing.

But if thats something you don't care about then go with the fake sh*t.

Quality. One won't fit and will be made out of cheap fiberglass, the other uses higher quality materials and will fit perfectly.

THATS THE "DIFFRENCE"
