see.... everyone gives me **** for not getting the "real deal"... but from that pic, it looks no different that mine...... mine is made of frp, so i know it isnt stronger!! and the quality of the kit is great, i have no complaints!! oh well.... as long as im happy, and i saved an arm and a leg by getting the knock off

note... your car looks good.... good luck on the project

ummm....why are the parts installed on the car? u should paint them first. that way you will get full coverage and won't have lighter paint in the harder to reach places.

What revisions has this company made to the knock-off GP Kit, In terms of styling etc? B'c I know that you cannot produce a Identical replica of a given kit without severe consequences.

I think that the reason the kit is not revised is because GP Sports no longer sells the kits in America. Their North American deivision closed, as i remember, a while ago. So, if they made this kit only available in North America, I don't think it would be that big of a deal.

Please anyone correct me if i have given any mis-information.

i just installed it to save money..... the body shop is going to unbolt it and paint everything peice by piece!! i did the hard part by drilling all the parts and getting them to fit right!! all they have to do is unbolt it, paint it, and reinstall it!

lol.... agreed, but im sponsored by them, so i cant complain....... but actually, this kit wasnt made by importfan.com........ most kits "made" by raceonusa are actually made by importfan.com, but this kit has yet to be made by them, so raceonusa must be getting it from somewhere else!! trust me, if importfan made this kit, i wouldnt have had to shell out $900 for the darn thing!!
