the debate between reps and authentic products have been beaten to death in just about every car forum. I've bought both rep and authentic products . To me some things are worth spending the extra cash on, and some aren't. Simple as that. Not everybody has money to throw around, and not everybody wants to even if they do. Its nice to have the option to buy either or.

Ehh I'd feel sketched out from buying from alibaba. It doesn't say they accept PayPal. And they accept western union which is known to be used by scammers. Plus we're dealing with $1000+ here.

The sellers profile looks legit but idk your call

Authentic vs rep again
C'mon, have you guys not ever downloaded a mp3 you did not pay for? Ehhh?

I don't mind buying for a reputable rep dealer.

To put some things in perspective (for me anyway)
WALD - $3k + shipping, labor, paint.
$1.5k for a flight to Spain, Morocco and long layovers in 2 other counties. Choice is clear for me

I agree as well. I've seen rear lips and none of them really do anything for me. Always have some double sided tape that doesn't sit flush. If the kit is molded (saw a molded Toms rear lip on a TP that looks amazing) then you can get away with it.

Been around for awhile, not new. Kit is sold mainly in china, ive come across it numerous times. Bumper actually cost around $450 USD with foglights and grille. Shipping is about $650.00 by air. Alibaba is mainly full of resellers, with an exception of a few wholesalers on there, but given that your inquiring from the US there gonna ^ the $ .

Fitment is ...ill leave it at that

I can understand if someone wants the buy the front or the rear, but if you get the fenders along with the rear or front, aren't you just pretending to be something you're not?
I mean you'll be driving a car that supposedly looks like an ISF but has a 250 or 350 badge? Or in any worse case scenario, the individual debadges the car and someone races the individuals car and wins... that puts a bad name on the ISF haha
