    Very stiff, crack easily when trying to fit. Very bad fitment. The pics they send don't show the detail in their sticker/paintwork. If you did buy the chinese, you would most likely be paying to repaint them after you got them fitted. Stay clear of them. The old saying, you get what you pay for applies to this particular type of item. :)

    Paint the stockers. Don't pump your hard earned money into China unless you have no other viable options.

    yes stock for sure. My china trackwork required LOTS of work by my paint guy to be paintable. And ive already noticed some stress cracks.
