100%? he's had 4 auctions...

and he's never sold a Tiburon body kit to someone...

i would NEVER trust an EBay body kit. especially a Veilside knock off. i would hate to see ANYONE from this website buy one of these

I hope you guys aren't serious. You might have someone to do all the body work to fix it, but the kit won't stand up to normal every day driving. You don't understand how much you'll scrape with that front bumper, and how durable you need it to be. You don't understand how horribly some of these body kits can actually be. I saw one that had the headlight holes 4" too high (so only half of the headlights were showing). That's almost impossible to fix.. along with the front bumper being 3-5" too wide (you'd have to break the kit and remold it together to make it fit)

trust me, there's no way to tell whether you'll get a somewhat decent fitting kit, or a HORRIBLE fitting kit

Okay guys, Ebay 101 here.

Listen up.

One, he's got 4 auctions, 100%.

Look at what he's sold. He's sold 4 bodykits or parts, to 4 different people, all for under $200.

2 of them have almost IDENTICAL feedback, different names.

I'd stay AWAY.

Yah... fitment isn't the only issue with body kits. Say you accidentally go over a curb and hit the body kit down on it. A real Veilside won't break or crack under that stress most likely. An Ebay one would get owned.

So the money you save you end up repaying in getting it fitted, fixing it when it cracks, etc...

How many of you have actually had personal experience with these? And not just heard and think this.
