he's right...it's build time and shipping time that makes that wait. Unfortunately, at the moment, it can't be avoided but I can tell you the products are worth the wait.

I can answer any questions you have about the products here or by e-mail.

I hate waiting!!!!

Panda,
I mentioned in the beginning of the topic a guy I had talked to, that after a few months was wanting to run into a pole, to have a good excuse to get rid of the front lip he got from spugen so he would have an excuse to tell his wife for getting another one. He said it never fit right and after a while you could see gaps up close to it. While you may be paying only 250 + shipping for it, you gotta think to yourself, what am I getting for it.

For a temporary replacement, probably the best deal you can get. Dont forget your gonna have to paint and put on, which is more $$$ you could have saved for the real deal, If you can pay, paint, and put on the crappy one, your more than half way there already. Spend half the money you would spend on the replica and get your OEM fixed up.

let me rephrase what I wrote...

The real GP Sports is very inexpensive price-wise and fitment is good.

The counterfeit GP Sports is cheap and is junk.

My point is, for just a little more you could have got the real deal and been happy, instead, you went with a counterfeit and are out your money and stuck with junk parts. There is no reason/excuse for buying counterfeit GP Sports parts when the authentic parts are priced very reasonably.
DAMN, I think your giving the original company a little too much credit, Im curious if you have ever bought a store brand food item at the grocery store? Dr. Skipper . The company earns its customers with their quality, if there is no difference between the knock off and the real thing then, the authentic producers are ripping you off. I think a little competition is healthy . I myself have bought both authentic and replica goods of all sorts and most of the original companies earn my money with the quality of their product. Just like I respect the production skills of Honda over Ford
my 2 cents, ... flame suit on?


Edit Im not sure if your just speaking of GP sports and its replica, or just replicas in general

By the way, I recently decided to go with JDM for the body, gonna take longer for me to get and pay for, but "nothing but the best for my S".

Quality is better.

If you wanted your wife's tits to be bigger or unaffected by gravity, wouldnt you just want to get her some real nice ones and a lift, instead of one of those miracle bras. Sure the miracle bra is going to look good at first, but eventually the bra is going to wear out or come off and your left with small, gravity challenged ta-tas.

yeah thanks, i actually decided to wait a little more longer, i really want the j's type s kit! I truly believe you get what you pay for, but its hard when you can get something cheaper when they both look the same!
