fitment could be off or it can crack during shipment.
i know some members ordered replica amuse r1 bumpers a few months back and many found that the bumper fitment was bad. my boyfriend ordered one; it had bondo in spots, fitment was off, and had hairline cracks throughout. what was shipped was not even close to what was described or shown in the pictures from the vendor.
my experience with buying replica involved my seibon hood. the weave was off in some spots and it sits higher on the right side of the car. that's what you sort of get with replicas most of the time. but sometimes it's great stuff. it's just a toss up.
good luck!!

And yeah, I have some friends from the east coast who have purchased various replicas. They said that what was common was the pieces were a bit thinner and a bit more fragile.
Basically, just be aware of the risk when you decide to order.

When buying anything from eBay expect problems. You will be hard pressed to find something on eBay that is in mint condition and fits perfect. It is rare that the picture is actually what they send and in general quality is low. So if money is really really tight and that is the reason that you buy this kit, do yourself a big favor and DONT BUY IT!!!
