There are a few peeps w/ the Fabulous style body kit. Some are copies, a couple are the original. The copies can be just as good depending on the mold maker and the fitment. Once its under a few copats of paint, it'll be hard to tell the difference.

Fitment depends on the kit you get ... Alot of the cheap once you see on ebay and ____ sometimes dont fit well and you need to trim them or shave them down. Most of the time but no 100% of the time you get better fitment from the ORIGINATOR of the kit ... This is just going off my expierence with body kits .. I have sold many and helped install many when I worked for a shop in Florida ... Good luck ... REMEMBER ... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

I've gone through 3 of em.
The kit itself is great quality (make) but there are innumerable waves throughout the entire thing, ESPECIALLY the top of the rear bumper. Even though the kit is worked on and smoothed out, it is very hard to get the waves out.
The fit is awesome but you have to remove the rear reinforcement unless you shave the rear bumper of the plate...then it fits. You need to lower the front reinforcement one bolt.
The side skirts need to be shaved because I know the 2 cars local that have the kit...we have the same problem and that is when you close the door, the tops of the side skirts rub against and you get a popping noise.
If your car is lowered, because the side skirts go under the car like 6"...it's hard to get a jack stand under the car and into the cutouts in the kit because they are small.
If you run 19s...TAKE EM OFF...because the kit is so long on the edges which go into the fender wells...it's non stop rubbing with one person in the car.
