I think Seung has the real IMC.

The fake IMC looks so fake, I can totally tell it's fake.

I'm pretty sure Seung has the copy, cause he got it painted and put on for a little over 1000. So if it was real, he spent too much. I saw that car last summer and talked to him over dim sum with Calvin. I might be wrong though.

if it's a real kit, 1k is too much for paint and install? I don't get it...

Well the last time I saw him he said it's real. What's going on here.....

It costs 900 to 1000 dollars for the paint and the installation. I'm not sure whether this price applies to the real kit or the faked one. Shouldn't really matter.

Don't get this kit.......... My friend that owns a body shop well-known for doing conversions and excellent work told me that the product is not that strong and he always has to charge extra to make the kit fit.

RacingAristo - Most shops (at least the ones I've talked to) will charge extra for knock-off kits because a LOT more work (fitament) is involved to make it look "right"...then again, I've seen the knock-off WIN kits installed w/o doing any mods and boy did it look bad...huge gaps in the rear bumper (you could stick your fingers between the bottom of the tail light and the bumper) and it was nice and wavy and the paint match was a MIS-match....obviously, the owner wanted a cheap installed to go with his cheap kit.
