So making a cheaper copy of an expensive product is not ok, but making an expensive version of a cheap product by just slapping your brand on it is ok? Hypocrites?

It is not like Rocket-Bunny/LBW is of good quality. Fit an finish is just bad, also design is not consistent, altough overall shape is good.

Since I had so many of you message me about the progress of this, I guess I'll post an update. I ended up selling the fenders off to a friend, because I found a paintless dent guy that worked magic on the damage I had on the side of the car. Almost 90% of the dents have been removed. You can look at the outcome of the flares on his Instagram @ZEPstar808. TBH he was impatient and did the initial mounting and test fit himself. It did not come out well, because he rushed. The fitment does not look good. When it comes down to it, fiberglass flares are fiberglass flares. I have compared these directly to a local guys real deal RB kit and the fitment is just as bad as the china knock off I bought. I don't think you would save any money buying these over the real deal rocket bunny stuff. It requires the same amount of bodywork, which most people arnt willing to pay for or do. Sure your car looks good on a tiny Instagram picture, but it might not look so good in real life. I decided against going widebody not because the product I bought was junk, but because I realized having crazy wide wheels and a aggressive stance is 100% not functional when I'm only putting 170 horsepower to the ground. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message me.

On a side note I have recently purchased a painted real Vertex lip kit from Japan and the fitment on that is pretty rubbish too. Moral of the story? Don't buy fiberglass things because apparently no one knows how to make them fit well. That or stop buying ricey appearance mods for your car and save up for a supercharger.
