alot of ebay kits are poorly made, make sure you get a warranty and as soon as you get it test fit it and if it doesnt fit return it straight away. i bought one a while ago and all the edges were folded up it was useless.. and also wouldnt fit on with front bumper reo reinforcement. so if you get hit in the front or hit something else nothing to support the front.. if they dont fit correctly it costs alot to get it to fit good and then it will crack easily too...

i recommend getting a kit fitted from a place that can fit it and paint it so if it doesnt fit right they can fix it themselves as it will be their product they are fitting and you can try make sure they do it right before you pay them..

There are two types of the BN kits. The picture of the unfitted kit looks like the T-II, but the pictures of the soarer he has down the bottom are the T-I.

The inlets on the side of the main center scoop/gap are level in the unfitted pic, but it sits higher down the bottom.

The price is right, and i'm actually pretty keen to see how they are. Plus its not Vertex or Bomex.

I was also interested in that BN kit...I saw it the other day and thought it looked good but am very hesitant having worked at a smash repair shop and seeing all the cheap dodgy kits people want fitted to their cars and us turning them away coz it wouldn't fit or would simply take too long mucking around with them and would cost more for us just to fit it than to buy and paint the kit. So hmmm I might save and pay the extra to get a high quality one but if anyone has anymore feedback on their kit experiences (good or bad) post up so we can have a read :-)
