Does anyone have any experience with these kits?

Also, what about the tank cover? Does it look like dog poo or is it acceptable?

I cant add anything to this but sure looks like a great way to freshen up your bike without paying big bucks for paint and repairs. Looking forward to feedback. I really like the Red White and Blue Anniversary colors too. Good luck!!
The guy in this thread used ebay fairings to rebuild his 6th gen and he seemed satisfied with them:

I just used a set on a 5th gen. Finish and paint is pretty good, fit is decent on some items and iffy on others, some fiddling needed.
Most mount tabs are unsupported and will snap off with much pressure.
Very good value body kit IMO.

I've worked with three chinese body kits so far, and the most recent is a red, white, and blue 6th gen:
Good: Paint finish is normally very nice, price is amazing (even with shipping it is 1/2 to 1/3 of a locally painted part), and it was shipped on time and packed very well, at 50' it looks great.
Bad: shape of the fairings can be off... my side panels to the frame are uneven and not adjustable, all the holes needed redrilling, the fasteners are often times different (M5 bolts can be M6, self tapping become normal thread, ect), color match is not right (I used an oem anniversary tank and the fairings blue and red colors are way off), at 10' it looks bad (graphics don't line up, edges that mate aren't parallel, etc).
What's strange to me is that the kits I installed on a CBR600F3 and a CBR929RR were better than the VFR.... it leads me to believe that they do take feedback and improve the product, but of course, they don't sell a lot of VFR kits... so...
If you're a stickler for detail, stay away. If you are willing to invest in some refinishing, and you don't expect a perfect bike from the outcome, it can be a very inexpensive way to refinish your bike.
