If you get any parts from us that have huge gaps or bends or a bumper that doesn't reach to the ends of the fender, then my friend, that is a defective part. You can return it for a refund, or we can send you a replacement. You loose no additional money out of your pocket for the exchange and if you decide on a refund, you get 100% of your money back.

Just to verify the prices you posted is just the shipping prices im assuming.
Kona-MIght be looking for a rear bumper only because when I bought my IS, my rear was already damaged. Also a lip and side skirts.

Best quality out there = OEM
Getting up there:
-Vertex
-Charge Speed
-RMM
-AMS
-GReddy
-Modellista
-BN Sports
-Seibon
Somewhere way down here is all the knockoff brands that cant design their own kits like Shine Auto, Extreme Dimensions and others of that nature.

Then please stop carrying models which are still being produced by original manufacturers, if you carry kits that are discontinued and give credit to the designers who created them, go right ahead. Theres a big market for people who cant afford the authentic stuff, sadly.
I understand your business venture with hitting that market, but why sell identical designs as to things that are currently still available or in production? You will put the businesses under and then who will you take designs from...
When I see companies like Vertex, 666Customs, WALD, etc taking a brand new car off the lot, and trying everything in their capabilities and budget to create something jaw dropping and unique... thats what makes me want to purchase their products. Those people have families to take care of, and knockoffs of their products take away their possibilities at doing that in the future.
Where's the R&D work behind a Extreme Dimension's FR-S kit? Or a new Lexus LS kit? ... Or are you simply waiting on someone else to use their money and time and ingenuity to create your next "popular style."
In conclusion, (sorry OP for going off-topic)... I think you should purchase a body kit that best suits your style, and purchase it from the original manufacturer. If you have to save up for 2 months for a knockoff, save up another 2 months and buy the real thing. It will benefit you and everyone else in the future as we support the people putting the leg work into creating the beautiful designs we all love.

That $3,000 would be broken down into:
Cost of shop space
Tools
Shop supplies
Wages
Research and development (computer design outsourcing, trial and error, raw materials)
Cars to test it on (renting, buying, etc)
and of course, paying somebody or some team of guys that extra few dollars for coming up with such a incredible design and product that it capitivated something inside me that - THAT is exactly what I want MY car to look like and to have every justification in the world for me to spend my hard earned money on.
And then at the very, very minor end of all those other expenditures....
I will accept that I am paying them to purchase fibreglass and resin.

When I spend $3,000 on a kit I personally have full awareness that I'm not paying for just the materials it's made with... and I hope you don't see it that way either.

im personally with 403IS300 on this one. i know a lot of people feel differently, but i wouldn't trade my authentic kit for anything less. But everyones gonna feel differently on this topic, i guess it really depends on what your goals for your car are at the end of the day.

^No, i agree with both of you. I dont want a cheap product that was cheaply made. Im supporting my family and tryn to have fun. Soo it may take me longer to build my car than others. Just finding out where the good manufactures are was my goal. Now i can save up, for the authentic kit n not worry about all the bs from others.
