OK, so there is a certain part that was made for the s2000 that was discontinued several years ago, I got my hands on it and I am considering making a carbon fiber mold and replicating it.... I see this happening all the time on here with hardtops, bumpers, lips, etc etc. I'm wondering if there is no legal issues for doing such a thing? do I have to slightly change the mold so it's not a direct replica to get by the legal issues? any help is appreciated thanks!!!

 

First see if there was a patent or copyright associated with the item. If there wasn't or if it's past it's date, no need to change anything. To the best of my knowledge...

 

A lawyer recently mentioned that it would have to be changed by 10%, or something to that effect. (Take this with a grain of salt)
