I've read nothing but good fitment on the SHINE rep so I'm hoping I get no crappy fitment..

authentic is nice if you can afford it. replicas are hit and miss and cheaper. aftermarket body pieces are hit and miss no matter authentic or replica. had a authentic mugen half bumper that was 2k$ and it was off some on one side. so if you can afford authentic, go for it. if not go replica. the truth is the high dollar authentics damage just as easy as replicas ie road debris, rocks and so forth. if done right no one will know the difference.

I have the full Spoon body kit and I have got to say its definitely worth going authentic over rep. decently priced for what you get and an awesome product. Only issue is I had some slight fitment problems but nothing major.

Add a front splitter to protect this very expensive bumper.
