Default Seido Body Kits??

Hey guys I was just curious has anyone heard about Seido Body kits?? I have a friend that is an exclusive distributor for this company but from what I hear they are a pretty new company, so I dont know what the quality of these kits are and I have yet to see them on a sc300/400. So if anyone has any info on these kits is much appreciated

Your friend is a distributor, but you have no info? How does he sell them as a distributor without info packets and pics? I understand you wanting an outside source of info, but just curious how he sells without examples.

Dont be the first one to try anything new unless you are being sponsored by the company producing the parts...

I have plenty of info but no real pics of them on a SC excpet a black one he showed me but you cant really tell how good it fits since the car is a dark color, he showed me pics and he said they are the Seido kits but on other cars 240's and such . They look good and he said they fit perfect. But who wouldnt want to push a product they are selling?? They are made of fiberglass with a special gel coat and they flex a decent amount, he was showing me one of the front bumpers and was basically bending it and twisting it infront of me.
Like got_trd said I dont be the first to try anything if no one has tried it yet, even though hes giving me a great price i wanted some feedback first. so i was hoping someone else might have had the kit before or atleast heard of the company before so i could get some feedback and or pics. The only pics i can get a hold of are the flyer pics which you guys can check out here:

To me at a certain point everything is a knockoff of something else, but if this company is a japanese company, and you've seen the quality of it first hand, then why not give it a shot. Every company starts off at the bottom, and because their new and unknown doesn't mean they're not good.

I've seen that ad in either young version or option. I'll test it out if the price is good hehe.

they sell it in japan but that doesn't mean it's made in japan...so quality might still be an issue.

unknown isn't the bottom but stealing other company's designs for profit
