Default Does this seem legit?

While searching for a nice subtle body kit I came across this

C West Body Kit

This kit is WAY cheaper than any other i have found and I know thats usually a warning sign, but If it is legit I dont want to pass it up.
So, what do you guys think?
Is it too good to be true?

If the link didnt work heres the address.

probably true. but fitment is probably going to be off and btw just so you know its a knock off. so generally what you save in the kit itself you will make up for in labor and install

Yup, thats about right it's fiberglass and a copy and you will have to do adjustments to make it fit tight.

I've read bad things from people who buy off that site. There was a huge complaint for the lips they were selling for the mazda 3 that were impossible to fit, but that was sometime a few years ago I'm not sure how they're doing now.

that doesnt give a whole lot of hope for it then.
If the original fits bad then the knock off is probably worse,
but I do really like the design.

what material is the original made of?

Yes, FRP.

I just got the C-West ver2 bumper which is, IMHO, the best looking bumper so far. I'll post pics and comments re: fitment once I find a place I trust to do the work.
