Default j magic or jic magic?

Ok so luxury mods is a very repuatable company so i do not believe they would carry kits with poor fitment. I know you usually get what you pay for but wanted to see if anyone had experience between the j magic they sell for 910.00 and the genuine JIC for 1450.00?

one is a knock off and the other is real....

you can pay the extra 400 now or to the pissed off Bodyman trying to fit a poorly built kit.

then again, Ive owned sum pretty expensive kits that didnt live up to their 'name'

good luck!!

Just like Em said. You really do get what you paid for. That cash saved on the ill fitting kit is going to go right to you're body man to get it to fit right anyway. Save up a few more pennys and buy the original. You'll be happier in the long run.

I dont buy on price alone. I think people that do that are silly...and typically spend more then they really have to spend

I look for a company that has a name built for themselves and care about the product they put out....at any price. Sometimes price reflects quality, but other times it doesnt.

I got a VIS vertex and ofcourse didnt fit at all, i can do some fitting and body work. I installed plenty of vis kits on hondas and made them come out looking perfect . I dont know what the deal with the sc is, I am going to be painting the kit myself aswell as any trimming and filling. I want the kit to be pretty close though because im just to lazy to do major mods to it.

LM is a good company but in this industry, even good companies carry some bad kits. Get the authentic stuff. Spending the extra time and money making some fake junk fit isn't worth it. The quality of the material also comes into question. In the end, why spend alot of $ on painting and redesigning the exterior of the car on a fake kit? Sure, maybe you can fool n00bs with it but most knowlegable people can tell what's fake. lol, would you rather have a gf that looks good with real ***** or one who needs to be plastered with makeup and get fake ***** just to look like the other? Exactly....keep the quality up on the car and you'll get noticed for it and appriciate it in the end Also, all other issues aside, it's hard to have respect for people who would give $ to encourage other companies to steal original designs to make $.

How goes roo!

Yes, in the end you get what you pay for for but we offer kits that are "affordable" to capture as much individuals in the tuner market.

The ORIGIN kit is "affordable" It is currently on the LM Project JZZ right now slated to make its debut at www.excstyle.com. See you guys there!
