It's most likely of a very low quality if it's under $200. I used to be in the business; our specialty was real aluminum. Not what most places say is aluminum which is basically laser cut plastic, but we actually cut sheets of aluminum and then backed it with the 3M tape. Since we only did aluminum, we bought CF kits from other companies to complement our selection, and I have to say that most of it is total junk. We switched suppliers for CF kits about 5 times. Especially the ones that have a high number of parts, say 32. Maybe half the parts would be usable, and the rest would not fit right, or go in spots that looked very tacked on and unnatural. The 7 piece kit looks like it is molded. A 32 piece kit is definitely not. The difference is that on a non molded kit, the edges won't be covered and it will look horrible. They look great in pics because you're only seeing the top. But from the side, it looks bad.

Always remember, you get what you pay for.
