Default Ebay body kit ( WW replica)

Anyone ever got a Wingswest/Mugen replica kit off of ebay? I know it is fiberglass but hows the fitment? I need a cheap way to take care of my 91 civic si's body work. Just wondering if anyone has experience with them?

thanks in advance!

I have seen people kits from ebay. They don't have the "best" fitment, but they fit nonetheless

it all depends. i got mine from ebay and it didnt really fit at all. The sideskirts were just a bit too short so i had to cut them in half and lengthen them by about an inch each. I also had to shave down the door caps as they rubbed against the fender no matter how much I pulled it out. The rear bumper left gaps with the taill lights in the corner. The front bumper had to have extra screws to bend it back into place. All this work and now today I sit dissatisfied with my car. I know you probably really want to do something to make it look nice but for about the same price you can track down stock body parts and get a jdm front end which in my opinion looks much cleaner. Or just return it all to stock and get the password sideskirts and lip. Good luck with your car but i would not recommend the ebay kits.

the thing with el cheapo ebay kits is that there super cheap, but you still pay in the end to make em fit right. unless you do your own work, a lot of money and time is spent on making it fit at the body shop.

to me the best kit for the ef is the wings west ones.
