While I agree that you can not have 100% fitment on replica body parts, everyone still want's the best possible fitment available at a good price . Having something thats 7/10 fitment to me is not acceptable for a replica, given that numerous others have reported that their M3 replica side skirts have 9 or 9.5/10 fitment.

That's why I'm asking for references and individual experiences with their purchase to lessen the risk of choosing a bad replica .

One thing to be clear, my full mark will only be given to OEM parts, so 7/10 is pretty much acceptable. my 9/10 will be given to those parts which has the "perfect" fitment

Important to note that as a member on these forums, and an active participant at club meets and cruises, I have zero intent to sell anyone anything they would not be happy with. Since I have now seen and installed on cars the majority of aftermarket parts out there, I can give some honest criteria on the fitment. Another aspect people often take for granted, and no one has mentioned here is that the fitment has A LOT to do with the shop that installs it for you. There is always some work to be done by the shop to improve the fitment. And while some may not think shops play a factor....I would bet my car that it does. I have seen these parts being installed, and I have seen them on cars from various shops. You can tell when a shop didn't give a fk, or when the person who owns the car wanted to pay next to nothing to get the work done. I have also seen great replicas, good replicas, and shitty replicas that require the guy that installed it to go through therapy. Don't underestimate a shops efforts when dealing with aftermarket parts. NO aftermarket parts fit perfectly as previously noted, but some parts only need a little time and care from a given shop to get that perfect looking fitment. |

my full mark will be given to OEM parts 9/10 will be given to "perfect" fitment aftermarket parts that doesn't need too much installation effort 8/10 will be given to aftermarket parts that require extra effort to make it perfect. 7/10 is overall good but has small imperfection. 6/10 is can be installed but has critical imperfection. blow 6/10 is unacceptable or cannot be installed. Lol, I think I should copy the criteria and paste it each time when I made a review. |
