I might do the 3rd one without the spoiler and go with a rear window spoiler. But i think these are tasteful and not too outrageous like some - JT

The price of these are amazing. Thats why I would post it up too see if anyone had experience with them being good or crap. I hate riced-out cars... Even I get embarressed when I see one...

Crap times ten.
They're just reselling Erebuni bodykits (www.erebunicorp.com) - shitty, poorly made fibreglass junk.

Shitty, I have never been to that site and yes they must be remakes of it or just a company who directly orders. But the way it looks screw the wickedbodies and buy something from somone who isnt fake. :)
I'd love to have a non-ricey body kit, im a broke ass :(

what is the difference in shiity body kits and good ones?
the material it is made of? so the crappier ones are heaver?
they break? they crack? they are hard to paint? what exactly
is the difference?

Better kits are made with Polyurethane... the cheaper ones are fiberglass...or worse yet, ABS!
Fiberglass is alright, but it is more likely to shatter, splinter, or crack.

A good kit fits like OEM - holes line up, edges sit flush. It will be clean and smooth - no warping.
A shitty kit is identifiable from a mile away. Not only can they be nearly impossible to mount without modification, they may have an uneven surface that would require extensive prep to look decent when painted. Even then, they're typically taken from molds of real parts, so edges will be less defined and more rounded.
In short, crap.

finding a reputable, quality kit are hard to come by. You get what you pay for so quality costs more money :/ damn...
