Default Aftermarket is Aftermarket.....RIGHT?

Here's whats up, Im looking for a sporty but classy body-kit, I've narrowed it down to about 3 online aftermarket sites. Where my dilemma begins is the cost, some are very affordalbe and some are not so affordable.

If I decide to go cheap I pay for it somewhere right?..Quality, fitment, and so on. BUT, what kind of quality do I get If I pay 4 geez on a kit?? I guess my question is directed to those who have already gone through this experience, Is it really worth spending more.

Yes, I love my car and Yes I plan on keeping it, but Im not the one to spend 20,000 dollars on aftermarket mods w/o some kind of reasonable budget. You feel me?

Well, I had a Cyber Kit, fitment was so bad I couldn't use it, bodyman said it was the worst he'd ever seen, so I got the Veilside, and although the kit itself was much better, no pin holes, etc, the fitment still wasn't perfect....but, it was workable...it's your call
