Default CW Body Kit

Does anyone have any experience with these body kits? I found one on EBay here:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2462823373

It looks really nice, but how much would it cost for me to have it installed and painted to my car's color here in SFl? I see one other kit on this website marketplace for $2000, is this one just expensive, or the CW just cheap compared to S2000 body kits?

That kit is advertised as a C-West style kit, the operative word here being "style". That, the low price, and the lack of a brand name probably means that someone made molds out of the C-West spoilers and is making kits in the back of a wharehouse somewhere. "Homemade" body kit copies are usually a pain to mount and align properly. What you save in parts cost you might end up paying for in labor trying to get the kit mounted and aligned accurately, unless you don't mind driving around with ricer gaps. There are exceptions, of course, but this is usually the case. C-West kits aren't exactly the most precise kits to begin with, so I imagine that copies of them can't be that great either. You get what you pay for!

Cheers

Do you have any suggestions for a nice looking body kit that includes front and rear bumper, as well as the sides? A spoiler would be a nice bonus. I'm hoping not to have to spend 1k+ for it, so perhaps in the $500-$800 range would be nice, and local shop that does installs would be even better! Thanks.
