Hello guys,

I'm supposed to look at this S2k next week and i was wondering if there is any way to know if the body kit is authentic?
Here are some pictures I have from the owner.
Thank you,

I'm not sure how you'd authenticate if it's real or not, but overall the kit looks to fit very nice all around asides the fenderliners.

There should be badges or plaques on the inside of the bumper. ASM would have a fiberglass-ish tag labaled with the brand and chalked with a serial number for the most part. Spoon parts usually have a badge/plaque like i mentioned. And you should be able to also tell by the quality of the parts

Are these badges visible without taking the car apart?
Also, can the carbon undertray (if it has one) be a sign of authenticity?

Thanks,

Based solely of the fact that the fender liners are all sorts of ghetto and no real useful information I say no.

Yeah, i just imagined they just kept the original fender liners.
But I guess you're right.
I should keep looking for another car.

Everything looks like it fits surprisingly well but yeah there is some red flags. Cheapo XXR wheels. The fender liners. Hard to authenticate without pulling bumpers off. If there seller is smart they have receipts for the authentic parts from a well know retailer that they can provide.

I am just going to go ahead and say it is Shine auto based on how other here said. The other parts of the car.

Shine auto makes really well fitting reps, and yes they come with a carbon under tray for the front bumper.

Does Shine Auto ship to Europe, or have vendors in Europe? If not I'd be surprised if these are Shine as the shipping costs would negate the savings over authentic Spoon items.
