Is this R-magic body kit authentic??

I found this at www.visionautodynamics.com.
The retail price of the front bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser are $1,500.
Sale Price is $1,200. Does anyone know if these are real R-magic kit? or is this another replica??
Thanks in advance.

I first ordered that kit from streetconcept.com. The front end comes from the same supplier i believe and it looked good. However, i sent the the thing back because they tried to make the rest of the kit and really f'ed it up. There were parts that had spots where no fiberglass was present, especially on the corners. There were screw heads all over the parts where they screw them down to the molds adn then cut the screws, not to mention the edges were uneven as hell and the parts didn't fit right at all. If you held a light behind the parts, there were big parts where light would shine right through.

bottom line, if you can get the parts from the company that made my front end(quite possibly vision aero) then it should be an alright kit.

that really wasn't what you asked, but i thought i'd let you know about my experience.
