Ebay people are AWESOME from my experience. Better than the store. In this case though.. there is not a lot of feedback. I would go with someone with more positive feedback. Let me see if I can find something similar.

I say go for it. The other people had good feedback, and I can't find better or even equal prices on the r34s. Good deal.. just hope someone doesn't see this thread and bid on it, now.

the auction still has 2 days left on it and its at $250 right now. Im sure it will end much higher. Thats what attracts bids is to start the auction off low, knowing it will end high.

no it wont end "much" higher....if u have been keepin track, the r34 and the octane runs at 300ish and no one is purchasing them....due to the fact that the its so cheap the fiberglass quality is horrible

With how cheap that is you could just buy a urethane front and sell the fiberglass front on ebay again heh. Fiberglass sides and rear aren't so suseptable to getting pegged.

I have an opinion, buy a uretane font bumper and the rest can be fiberglass, cause your not as likely to hit stuff on the sides and rear...

but you might scrape the sideskirts..

don't forget you have to pay for import tax. so total you are looking at around $500US. not bad but if you can find seller from Canada on ebay could be better for you. i bought my from a company from vancouver. so no tax for me

i'd say get all urethane, i got all urethane and im glad i did cuz even tho u wont get too many pegs and scratches on the sides and rear, u WILL get scratches and you WILL pick up pebbles and rocks and stuff on the road because of your body kit going lower and closer to the tires.

I have that kit and love it. I paid $495 shipped for it. I bought it on ebay as well. It required a lot (5 hours) of fitting and shaving. You get what you pay for I guess!

those ebay r34's are complete pieces of ****, it took the guy who did my kit forEVER to fix it all, but in the end it looked really nice, we changed a lot of stuff about it, pretty custom now hehe

the fiberglass was so thin too, we had to thicken it a lot

in hindsight, i would have saved up the extra money to get it from a nicer place, because i ended up spending just as much money if not more having to fix the one i got off ebay
