Default Asylums Motorsports. Yea or Nea?

I'm looking at getting a body kit ( I'm expecting flames for this, but its a clean kit...nothing outragous or flashy), and Asylums has the peices I want.

Has anyone delt with Asylums?

Is fiberglass what I would want for a bumper? Is there any material that is better?

What kind of fitment should I expect? I went to Honda today to check on new OEM bumpers (f&r), fenders, and hood...that = $1000. Forget that.


BTW, I'm planning on getting the following parts:
Neo Buddy Club rear bumper
Neo Zeal sideskirts

Can't decide on the front:
Neo Type C-West OR
Neo Type M

What do you think?
Any suggestion on where I can get quailty OEM replacement parts for cheaper than the dealership? If so, I may scratch the kit, and go with a set of lips and WW RS sideskirts.

Thanks!
Spike

I've heard nothing but bad things about asylums. I say find another place to get it if that's what you want to do.

they are the most bullshit. dont buy stuff from them. I order a spoiler from them a year ago. Had to get on the phone with like everyday. and they kept saying that its on its way. And after 2 months they said well they dont have the part in stock, wtf? So i asked for my money back. took them another month to refund me. Very bad experience.

I ordered from them they suck. Took two months to get my stuff after like 10 phone calls of threatening to cancel my order on my credit card. Don't order from them.

They ****ed up my boy's del slo, they take forever, they overcharge, they get the wrong parts, THEY SUCK...

Do a search and see what all has been said about ASSylums.

:edit: don't get a fiberglass bumper, it will undoubtedly crack or distort at least a little, and if you hit a single curb (or raccoon, as was the case with my friend) you can kiss it goodbye. Get a urethane bumper instead.
