how about people post visual evidence of this so called perfect fit, some peoples standards are going to be different. to make it on the list it must be visually apparent that the gaping in the seams are nice and to what extent of work has gone into the item to achieve that fitment....
Otherwise this thread is completely useless,,,

2. D1 performance ebay front lip (piece of ****, and a waste of my time)
this is the only pic i could find.
3. D1 performance side skirts (ditto)
This is when i pulled the skirts as far forward as i could
it's hard to tell here, but the skirts flared out.. and it looked like shieeeeeet

There is an overall fundemental flaw with this thread, and I have evidence to prove it. the problem with replica bodykits is that they are not going to be consistantly good or bad, thats just the truth, no way around it. Case in point, I happen to have two sets of Shine replica Burnout sideskirts, guess what? they are completely different, one fits ok, still needed some tweaking, the other, is horrendous, how something comes out of a mold and ends up being 2 inches longer than it should be is a prime example of why people need to create threads like this in the first place. I see that even now people are slotting the same item into both categories, again its just due to the nature of the products...
Its just a risk you are going to have to be willing to take,,,
The other side of the spectrum is you could pay a much higher price to the Original Manufactuer and inusre that it will fit and be the best quality materials possible,,,
