OK guys, first off I apologize because I know how the eBay-marketed body kits were in the 300ZX world (typically crappy fit, requiring lots of trimming to fit correctly), but I'm curious as to whether anyone has (or has seen) this particular kit, and can attest to its fitment (crossing my fingers in the hopes that every kit on eBay doesn't suck). I know that it's going to require some work (pretty much all of them do) to fit perfectly, but if anyone has insight into the quality of the kit, I'd appreciate it. Or, if the kit does suck, is it a knock-off of a genuine kit somewhere else, where I'd be better off buying it?

Here's the link to the auction:

I don't know whether this would be a genuine kit that really does list in this price range, or a crack-of-the-a$$ replica that's cranked out in some third-world garage, and isn't even worth the time it takes for the page to load. Any insights would be welcome. At this stage I'm just narrowing my options down, and will probably wait to purchase until after the holidays (always thought that my kids should get their toys before I get mine). I don't want some wild looking kit, none of that Veilside-inspired snowplow look, and I don't really want to go with the S4 bumper, just because I want something a little different from OEM, and the style of this one caught my eye. If you guys know anything about it (or another kit somewhere that is similar in styling), please let me know.

Thanks

 

That's the Reiger Tuning RS4 body kit...(company is on the windshield sticker, LoL)
Go to LLTek and check out the body styling for the B5's there. However, none of the kits will fall in this price range. More like more than the cost of your whole kit to the price of the front bumper of the real one. It's really up to you. If you want fiberglass (which chips and breaks) then go for it.

 

I figured that would be the case. Typically the kits on eBay are subpar in quality but once in awhile one will turn out to be fine. I have checked LLTek actually (just was there about an hour ago), and it'll definitely be worth ponying up some extra dough for those parts - they look great and I'd be willing to bet that based on cost and the enthusiasm I've seen for them here, the fitment will be very good. I'm thinking along the lines of the Rieger parts - V2 skirts, rear valence, and up front either the RSFour bumper or maybe one of the chin spoilers I saw there. It's a few months away in any event, so I'm not going to sweat it now.

Thanks for the input - it confirmed what I kind of suspected would be the case.
