i just cant imagine how much bigger or smaller the bumper is in relation the the actual car.... thats the first thing i would imagine wiht an ebay product like this.

i wonder how they can mold and ship products that are 2mm thick. :-p

but hey!

the first person to order this!
good luck!
and if its comes out worth the 700$
then god bless!

I personally wouldn't touch it, but if someone bought this kit all they would have to do is just order the "Real" JP door caps and full JP kit it is for $...

So true, when I saw the JP kit was made of fiberglass and then saw the price I was like NO THANK YOU!
$5k for a kit that can break so easily.

I say guinea pig, someone test out the fake one.

I wonder why the knockoffer didn't make door caps to go with it. The real ones cost more than the entire kit!

I think I'll call it "Function Produce."

knock offs are fine just as long as they fit. i've come across some quality knock offs where you simply CANT tell the difference. 5k vs 600 bucks. i'll do the 600 bucks anyday.

This is goin downhill fast

Knock off kits are for track cars.

If you cant drive a car without bangin up the rims and kit, then roll 'stock' till your car game Improves.

there is always going to be a market for knock offs, and there's always going to be the people who will be willing to pay the extra dollar for authentic pieces. To each their own I guess. I'm just happy there isn't a JP grill and exhaust knock off. =P
