Replica bodykit

So, I found on ebay replica brabus body kit for like $1400, it includes two bumpers and side skirts.

How good do these replicas fit? Can anyone provide a link to some other companies that someone already successfully installed?

Genuine brabus kit is not worth to invest into a car that is worth less than $40k (apparently

I thought it will be a good idea to enhance my car's look this way to prevent myself from selling it It seems like its not worth to sell it anyways.

my biggest concern with body kits is what are they made of? is it the same stuff the oem bumpers are made of or is it fiberglass? if fiberglass then i would pass. the next questions is will it truly bolt on?
