there is no way that you can get the authentic kit for 500.

it's probably a knock off kit...

with the knock off kits, the fitment is usually poor but with work you can get them on...

the explosion is nice but becareful with the knockoff.

unless its a used explosion kit that a friend is selling cuz his dog died and he needs money for the funeral there is no way thats the price for the real kit. I think the real kit something like 3k from japan. More than likely its the "explosion style" kit which you can find on ebay or other bodykit websites in that price range.

Go authentic. Ebay kits are JUNK. Spend the extra money and do it right.

From what I hear, the Explosion-style knock off kit actually fits pretty well. One of the few. I don't know about the quality of the fiberglass (vs the real Explosion FRP) though.

Bad memory. Cong's kit fit pretty well and for some reason I thought yours did too.

Definitely get 00lexondub's kit. All the work has been done.
