Default Ebay body kits

Are the body kits sold on ebay shoddy and to be avoideded at all costs? Even though I don't own a teg yet, I will be getting one in a few months for my first car. Most likely an ls. Are these kits well priced? Are they good quality? I don't know a whole lot about cars, but I love integras, So much lurking these forums has tought me a bit.

For example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

also, how do you know which one you are buying?

your a trial user so i guess u dont know that everyone here basically looks down on body kits n anything pretty flashy...but as far as im concerned..if it isnt too outrageuous n retarded looking i like them stuff they call rice n im all for nice kit to put on...i think u could get em off ebay if u find a nice one...but beware that they might not fit correctly or something. or be different than what u wanted..just be careful with it...n dont buy anything til u get the car..

if you really want a body kit, the more money you pay the less time youll spend trying to get the fitment right. *most* ebay and knockoff body kits will not fit snug around the headlights, where as an authentic bomex kit will. the down side is an authentic bomex front end will run you 250 alone and that doesnt include paint.

most of the guys on here are into JDM fronts or lip kits only. but if your big into body kits then go for it, just dont ask for honda techs opinion on which one you should get .

JDM front ends are nice because they are less common, factory fit, clean, and you dont have to ever worry about reapiring your fiberglass when you bottom out your car.

my personal suggestion is to do ALOT of research on different styles of tuning and figure out which category(s) you fall under.

DONT NOT BUY THEM FROM EBAY they suck *** unless you have a heavily qualified body man to fit and shape them, i bought one for my crx which i no longer own because i riced it out like a indiot ( i was young) 2f2f ya kno. the bumpers didnt fit. one sideskirt was too long the other to short, it was ridiculos. i would not recommend it, i will probably never put one on a car again.
