Default Body Kits from Ebay...

Has anybody bought their body kits from Ebay? It seems they are so much cheaper than buying them somewhere else. I am thinking of adding a body kit to my b6 maybe this summer but instead of spending $1,500 it looks like I can get the same thing for $650. What do you guys think?

Here is an example:
Ebay Body Kit

Also on a seperate mod note I am looking to upgrade my headlights from just normal stock ones. I have been reading just about everything I can to figure out the best option. I really don't want to go with just $40 dollar bulbs and I've seen HID conversion kits for about $250. Is the kit the way to go? My local Advance Auto Parts can order a Sylvania HID Conversion Kit (part# D1S) for about 150 bucks. Is that what I want? I am so confused.

The best body kit is painting your lowers to match your car color and maybe adding a different bumper. but stick with audi bumpers, non of that made up **** from some companies that look like the back to the future car.

Prolly fiberglass instead of Urethane. Any tap on anything and you'll have to replace the bumper instead of repair it.

Thanks guys. I didn't even realize their pictures were most likely the real kits and probably not what they are selling. I've already had my lowers painted silver to match my car. I will probably just look into getting a new bumper in the near future. My favorite one is the Audi made one you buy though the dealer. I think it's around $650 just for the bumper right? Is there a better place to get one for less?

i have the audi kit, I LOVE THE REAR, but the front is blah to me, i would suggest getting the rear but pass on the front and sides

Your car looks silver, right? Well, if you ever thought about going with a different bumper I could probably take yours off your hands. It would probably match my 03 silver a4 without having to change it. Although I originally was scheduling this mod for this summer.

It says it is fiberglass. Thats why it's so cheap. Don't even bother, I had a fiberglass bodykit on m volvo and it sucked, cracked like crazy.
