Anyone use this kit on their ride? Just wondering about the quality. Claim they are licensed looks like by Mopar.

There is basically only one manufacturer that actually puts together kits for the various applications located in the US. There is an imported variety of the kits that are missing the details of the factory pieces. If you should look at one of those kits, the rubber bumper will have ROC molded into the rubber for Republic of China. There are a couple of manufacturers that are producing some of the more common bumpers, but they only offer them as individual components.

The company that is producing them offers the various kits in two different forms. For those not interested in the details like part numbers molded into the pieces, that kit is available for approximately half the price of the kit that features all of the details of the assembly line pieces.

The hood wedges were used on these cars as well. You can purchase a much cheaper version of those pieces that are imported, but the failure rate is crazy. The better ones are twice the price, but they are of a much better quality and appearance.

I suggest you get these from Richard, aka 69bfan. Not only is he a great supporter of FBBO, but he stocks the best stuff he can get for these cars.
