Just do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again. You get what you pay for. The Kami kit fits nearly perfect and if the K kit is anything like the other knock offs then it is probably going to fit horribly which means it will cost more to install. In the end it will probably cost about the same as the Kami kit when you factor in the install price.

I don't think the price difference between the Type K and the Official Kami kit is that much different anyway.

Just save the extra pennies and get the real deal

the photos of the type k body kit aren't even real, they are just stolen pictures owners of real kaminari kits posted up online without copyrighting or trade marking or water marking whatever, and they just them to advertise their crappy knock-off kits

This should be all the info you need in regards to your question. Good luck!

spend the extra money and get quality instead of having to waste money later due to having bought a low quality item

I actually was looking at the v fiber kaminari knock off which is pretty similar to this kit and ordered through krazykustomzonline.com... they actually called me with in minutes of placing the order and said we highly recommend you go with the kaminari because we've gotten calls from bodyshops saying the fitment is horrible... I believe the knockoff I was gonna get was like 846 plus 150 shipping.. KKO said for the kaminari it was 880ish 1100 shipped and it came in a week and a half... I picked up my freshly installed kitted car today and he said good choice in going with the kaminari urethane body kit, it was heavier/ sturdier then the stock bumpers... hope this helped and I def don't recommend the kit because if someone is doing the install you'll being paying the same as a kaminari for the extra labor for time to fit it properly. Besides the fact the type k kit is fiberglass and will shatter with little pressure. The Kaminari is a urethane kit and much more durable
