Sometimes there is only a little that needs work but, sometimes you can spend more on labor at the body shop than the pice origanaly cost. Dosent matter who made it and how/out of what, I still have never seen a pice that was 100% comparable to OEM fit right out of the box.
Ive even got some steel replacement pices from Year One that needed work.
I don't mean to sound rude, but many of the composite body panels I have shipped from Japan have fit perfect with ZERO modification. From the Voltex GDB STi bumper and sideskirts to the CBY widebody (minus the rear quarter panels) for the AE86 Corolla. Even now I have a C-West rear half bumper for my S2000 that was, in the most literal sense, a direct bolt in.
I would like to see those some day.
After the 4000 mile journey courtessy of UPS or FedEX ofcourse. Where they pay the handlers peanuts and the delivery guy gets a whole $.50 more for harder work.
