ap,

the ad is kind of confusing to me as it states the kit was originally made in japan. BUT, the real WIN kit(which this kit was derived from), cost several thousands in japan.

bottomline, i think this is the carisma kit(copies of win), you can get it for ~$1100 here in LA.

Will pretty much summed it up

couple more things:

1) REVOLUTION KIT (even the title said it is) is NOT Erebuni, but a Carisma kit (which isn't a whole lot better than Erebuni, still a copy.)

2) REVOLUTION kit is made in USA, Win.RACING is made in Japan.

3) What they said is true, it is a direct fit (because it's REVOLUTION, not Win. I'm not sure if Win kit needs modification, but REVOLUTION certainly doesn't). It is a direct fit, just not THAT good of a fit.

4) They used the MSRP of Win.RACING kit and made it sound like it's a HUGE discount. Typical E-Bay operation.

I'd not buy it despite of low price. You always look at the quality and the fitment when shopping for bodykit. You don't want to have gaps in between hood and bumper, do you?
