for $300 bucks i can almost guarantee you that you will spend another $500 trying to get that thing to fit right...

you get what you pay for...

just get the authentic... it's worth the money.

Its only a matter of time that we will start to see more and more knock off kits for our cars. With the prices going down and more people and young-ings getting GS's instead of Civics and Accords and such the aftermarket and knockoff aftermarket for this style GS will be on the upside in the next couple years for the good and for bad...

Let's hope it's for the good!! The elite vendors of some of these products have had the market for some time now, perhaps a little competition will benefit all of us. I.E. the Erebuni spoiler.

I'd still rock it. I think itlooks tight. and the fit can't be that bad. I fitted many body kits in my days, and if you know what your doing, it just a little ajustment modifications to get it to fit properly
