I've heard good things about their fitment. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the Shine kit too at some point.

IF it's the real deal they fit great if it's the knock off it all depends on who fitted them.

Like 1siksc said Cam. There are 2 companies making AC replica's. ShineAuto Project makes a full rep of the entire kit which fits fine. AIT makes a replica of just the front bumper that doesn't fit all that well. Make sure it's authentic ShineAuto and you should be good. IIRC you do body work right? It shouldn't be an issue for you to get it fitted and painted when the time comes.

The official Shine Auto Project kit seems to have good fitment from what I've heard. I've never seen anyone have issues with it assuming you go with the authentic kit.

I feel the kit fits great! period. I have nothing but great things to say about them. SOME FOLKS on ClubLexus frown down a company that make replica after-market kits, but hell I ain't got 2500 for a kit for a car that is damn near 20 years old. LOVES ME SOME GOOD FITTING/AFFORDABLE/NON ELITIST REPLICA BODY PARTS! And just because I like post pictures here the victim:
My car it still needs paint.


Anyone like the kit? I do and it's 100% replica! LOL!

They have it they are waiting on my blackassets to get the car painted to show off! LOL! PM ME the MODS don't want me posting prices of venders that have not payed them for ad space on this forum. I can tell you this, YOU WON'T PAY A semester of community collage for this kit! If you can afford a ebay lip that needs some work done to it, you CAN afford this lip, trust me!

i've seen a bunch of parts from shine on different cars and there is always no problems with fitment. they seem to make high quality knock off parts

often times shines parts fit better and are made better then the part they copied.

from my time in japan and in the car scene there, Ive learned a lot about the quality of the jdm parts, the body parts are made with a very throw away mentality. 'get kit, go drift, hit something, toss out, get new kit.' in the us the mentality is to get as much time out of a part as possible. shine makes there parts with that mentality.

My shine auto bomex copy parts are of much higher quality then the same real bomex parts.
