Default Balsarini body kit

hey guys.

I found Balsarini body kit(06-08 Lexus GS 350/430 VIP Body Kit) from here

http://www.body-kitz.com/index1.html?target=d256.html

I don't know why it is so cheap.

Is it fake?

That's my kit. But the front lip is being revised hence it's a proto.

If your talking about Benji, he got his off eBay. The INGs and some other kit, they are mass producing now... replicas of course. on eBay is pretty cheap, around 800 shipped.

THEY EVEN HAVE THE JDM REPLICA NOW 06-07!!! Dirt cheap $550! I would buy it, but I don't like it too much anymore.

it looks like the site makes copies of authentic kits and call it their own hence the cheap price.

also explained why most of the kits are fiberglass...
