IMO i think it is the worst kit out there, but then again, its all personal preference. I have seen some raven tc's that look halfway decent. Its all what you want

there are a lot of kits that take a lot of hours trimming to get them to look and fit correct.Only a few kits out there are near take off old part and put on new part and get painted.......i like the Raven kits back and sides but the front looks like an evo and I really dig the tC look more.......the Kaminari front is a great front.

^ kaminari kits are notorious for fitting awsome, but they are spendy. Remember the savings you get on a knock off kit will be more than made up for in fitment work. Look around and ask the people that have the kit, ask them how the fitment was and how much they had to go through to make it work/ fit good or right. I personally will never do another body kit (a lip kit maybe ) but never a full kit, unless I had it done by a shop.

Not a fan of the Raven kit at all. And, yes, you'll be paying extra to make it fit.

Evos don't look that bad

The main problem with that kit is the tC is curvey and smooth, whereas that kit is angular and jagged. It just looks wrong. And it's especially horrible with cheap aluminum mesh in the front instead of, oh I don't know, an intercooler.
