Hey, what do you guys think of this AIT body kit:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Have you heard of it? Think it looks cool? I like the m-tech a lot but it seems like a lot of people have it, but more importantly, this one is cheaper.

Please give me some feedback.

Thanks

yeah a lot like it.

BUT more importantly,

will this fit my 09? i noticed a lot of people categorize the 08 and 09 together. is it because they are the exact same dimensions? and when listings like these go from 05 to 08, i have a feeling that they just didnt update it to 09. please let me know

repeating myself, but DEFINITELY won't fit the front bumper. Rear might be some issues as well.
And this particular one seems a crappy replica at that, as they do not have pics of their actual kit installed - the pics are from ACS web site.

Also, their policy is shit - all items AS IS ??? WTH are they doing - selling the kits that fall apart on the second day?

A decent roof spoiler ACS rep alone should be about 100-150 plus shipping AT LEAST, and they are selling the whole kit for under 400?

I'm tired of dising these guys already, but trust me, if you want quality - this is NOT IT!

hey if you cant afford to mod your bmw correctly with quality parts, then leave it stock

this wont fit and you might as well throw away your money because it will cost more to paint it right then the worth of the kit
