Default Is Alibaba.com safe? to purchase body kits?
www.alibaba.com/‎ , just wondering if anyone has bought any body kits off the site? any experience in purchasing items from the site?

Reviews say the site has a lot of dodgy suppliers...

Uhhh.....

We can start with this comment: What are you looking for and does it outweigh the fact you may get swindled. Also, are we talking "dodgy" like fell off the back of a truck "dodgy" or ships to you with no box and can't reach them again "dodgy?"

Never heard of the company. If the reviews are bad, I would stay clear.

What kind body kit are you looking for?

Is it something you can get from our vendors, classifieds, or simply ebay?

I've heard bad things about that website. I've never shopped there myself though so I can't shed any personal experience on that.
