eBay 4.8IS Bodykit reviews?
 
Hello everyone

I badly want the 4.8IS bodykit however it proves almost impossible to find a 2nd OEM parts so i`m considering to go for the cheaper aftermarket version on eBay. Has anyone on here purchased it and is the fitment and the quality any good?

Go OEM and save yourself some time and hassle with fitting plus quality is better. I have done that before and ended up with OEM parts. I now own E70 but I still think that the kit makes the E53 looks better. :thumbup:

Don't do it just find a wrecked vehicle at the junk yard and piece it together. Its not that hard to source the parts. Ebay aftermarket kits are trash.

i bought it. full kit. its fiberglass. so yes it will require fitting process. it is cheep and you get what you pay for. i will be running this as i find the OEM parts to replace with. OEM is still not that cheep from the junk yard. it's much cheeper than what it was in 2005, yes. but still not as cheep as the full aftermarket complete kit for $300. it will hold me off till i can piece the OEM junk yard parts together, its worth it to me. i can sell the after market set for 150 when i'm done with it if its not wrecked.
