I've installed Vertex, chargespeed,c-west, origin and they are all about the same. None of them will fit 100% perfect out of the box but if you're patient you can get them to fit good.

doesn't dent... just chips and cracks extremely easy. lmao fiberglass is trash. thats why an oem kouki 180sx bumper is worth the premium over a fiberglass rep. i had a full fiberglass kit once and will never buy another, got chunks taken out of the corners from normal road debris, couldnt imagine a track day with it.

nope. I have had multiple big name pieces. version select. gp sports... expensive surfboards. fiberglass is just fragile when it comes to getting hit by debris. hell, if it werent for paint over top, it would be even more noticeable.

Version select is replica and Origin I believe is kinda it's own brand but still made cheaply.

I haven't had GP sports but I imagine their stuff fits fine. I'm speaking of how well they fit not as far as durablity.
