I've heard reps fit bad. I've also heard originals fit bad. And I've heard both fit fine. So... there is a better chance the originals will fit fine but I'd bet on fussing with it just to be safe. I'd get the cheaper option unless you have a problem with replica parts(which it seems you don't) or the original was affordable. Some of these things have pretty crazy price tags that I can only assume is paying for the name *cough* TRD *cough*

You have an RS2.0? I'd hold off on hacking the fenders up and installing a non-factory kit on the car. But that's just my opinion.

Either way you go with widebody, be prepared to spend the time or the money with making things fit proper.

Sorry, mis-read your post. Still, I'd keep the front lip from the RS2. Really, really like it.

You'll have less problems fitting lips and side skirts if they're replicas, but they could still be deformed. Ultimately, it all comes down to how much effort you want to put in to making something fit.
