    Possibly Buying this Kit



    I'm thinking about buying the kit shown in these pictures, can anyone tell me if this is a good deal, and what they think of it?

    thanks.

    "Professional Installation Recommended" - translation - Fiberglass kit that fits like shit. You'll have to drop probably $1-1500 at a local body shop for them to trim and mold the kit to your car.

        That seller is a loser. I wouldnt buy anything from him.

        Those kits he sells are all cheaply made knockoffs. Nothing Genuine.

            When you see it fitted correctly to an E30 in person, it looks pretty good.

                All i know is that I've seen that kit in person (I'm assuming it was a real one though) and I really liked it. Oh well, I guessI'll keep waiting till I find a genuine kit.

                maybe BMP/Hartge or something.

                  I hate that front bumper, but I could see myself learning to like the sides and rear.

                  That 'Hartge' front bumper that the same eBay seller is selling looks nice. Except you will probably encounter the same fitment issues as any other cheap f/b knockoffs. You can tell from the pictures, that it fits like crap on that white E30.

                  If you are looking for a cheap rear apron, Eurostyle is selling the M-tech 2 replica for late-style bumpers. From the pictures, it looks great. I'm sure there will be some members here that can tell you their first-hand experience and opinion.
                  He has a thread on maxbimmer.com
                  I would've bought his if I hadnt bought something else.

                      It's not on my car yet, and it won't be for a while. And not really a 'kit' cept the Racing Dynamics rear apron. The front is the stock IS lip, and I'll have IS sideskirts.
