Default China/Hong Kong plastics?

buddy just bought some to fix a bike he bought, wanted me to help him get it back together, well..... the quality of the plastic wasnt as shitty as i expected, HOWEVER, they dont fit worth a shit, none of the holes line up near where they should be, took a lot of rigging, i would suggest NEVER buying those no matter how cheap the price is!

here's a pic, almost completed, just waiting on the ram air tubes

EDIT: it does look really good, even in person, but factory plastics would have taken like 10 minutes to put on versus hours and hours and hours, and hours, and i feel bad for anybody that has to remove the plastics for any reason, and put them back on, like for an oil change or something...

cause we had to pull and stretch, and zip tie, and drill, and break tabs, etc
