Plastics

I have a 6th Gen VFR and I have used it to teach my family how to ride motorcycles.  In the process it has been dropped twice and scratched up

my plastics.  I was looking on E-Bay and see a variety sold from over seas. Does anyone know if they are worth the money?  Where is a good place to get the plastic for my 08 VFR? 

Some Pics of what I am looking at.

Hi Rogue,

I thinks if you do a search on "chinese" you will find the answers you are looking for.

There is chinese rotors and chines bodywork...

It seems the "eBay" specials on plastics from over seas are hit or miss, primarily miss! Depending on how bad yours are, you might have better results getting those cleaned up and repainted. Broken plastics are a little different story, but can also be repaired and cleaned up. If you doubt that, look up a post from a member "TinkerinWstuff". about his 5 gen rebuild.Of course he has some skills and obviously the time to do this. YMMV

Here is a good thread from one of the members over at VFRW that tried some of the Chinese fairings.

As mentioned above , the overseas stuff is VERY hit and miss -mostly miss from what I have observed . I am a refinisher by trade and have had a good many clients bring me pieces to fix from "kits" they have bought, ranging from mismatched mounting tabs to just aweful quality prep and paint finish. For the amount of investment I would repair what you have or patiently wait for some domestic pieces to pop up on Ebay, Craig's list etc. if you would like to email me some pics , I would be happy to offer some direction.

Looks like the seller made the conversion. 

If you decide not to go for hit-or-miss and not repair, Keith at Mason City Honda has the best prices on OEM parts.
