          How do you figure? I've seen them first hand and the lighting on them is horrible, its all patchy. Granted it comes with the territory, but i would expect alot better for what you are getting charged.

          whatever you do stay away from their body kit stuff, its all cheaply made knock offs.

            Just the overall feeling of them. I never installed them. Just bought them to see how they were and returned them. :twisted:

                The body kits we import are from DC ICE in Estonia. Some parts are better than others, but as with all fiberglass kits they need to be sanded to fitted prior to painting.

                We have imported and sold literally thousands of body kit parts, but we don't import kits from them anymore, although we do have some stock available. If you are interested in any parts, I would be happy to give you detailed information about the product quality and fitment.

                Now we deal with a Canadian company called AutoVision Styling. They make ABS Plastic body kits for the e30. Very high quality stuff and they fit better than the Rieger kits.

                As far as complaints are concerned: We took pre-orders over the summer for a container we were importing because the demand was outrageously high and this was requested to ensure product availability. Unfortunately, it took DC-ICE 3 months to ship the product post payment (ocean freight container shipping takes about one month on top of this). A lot of customers were not pleased by this and we did have to give some refunds. Everyone did receive their product, but for many it was behind schedule. For this reason we don't bring this product in anymore.

                All of our products are shipped from a warehouse in Calgary. Shipping times are about 5-7 days in the United States and we offer very cheap shipping rates, as we have contract rates due to the high volume we deal with. We ship with Purolator courier, which would be Airborne Express in the US.

                If you are looking for a quality kit, I would suggest the ABS Plastic parts such as the AutoVision Styling kit. They are very nice CNC cut parts and fit perfectly.

                Thank you for your interest. Let me know if you have any questions.
