fwiw most of the ali stuff is always knock off..and most of it sold on ebay

so ill toss this in
do not expect anything to just bolt on and not need some fixing/adjusting, secondly most plastic these days is "dirty" plastic and will need to be propperly prepped for paint to actualy stick and not just look like its sticking ..or worse fish-eyed to hell

with that said tho some of the pieces are genuinly nice, other need a ton of work to look nice

but yes ive gone the budget route but im also skilled enough to fix, paint match and prep everything

Most of this is rubber or a fake carbon fibre look.

What looks better, gloss, matt or fake carbon?

imo semi gloss black looks best specificly due to it matching the pillar vynle, mini molded mud flaps and the other trim pieces in front of the tires as well as the grill and mirrors if you dont have the painted ones...and while i have the painted covers ready..i feel the raw black plastic mirrors work better due to the other black bits on the body
it "blends" better
