To add more fuel to the flame, I will ask the haters this question:
Do you feel the same way with used parts? You're not directly supporting the manufacturer, as with buying replicas, so do you buy all new authentic parts?

let just say ppl have the right to do whatever they want. i don't really think it's relate to what kinda job ppl do. my boss drives a cheaper car than mine, but doesn't mean he makes less money than i do. it's more like do you think it's worth to spend that much to get something you need. there got to be a reason why authentic parts are expensive but because of that, this is why replica parts existing.

In fact, who knows who are the boss of some replica company, i'm not saying the authentic company owns them. Just like Banana Repulic, Gap, Old Navy, same owner but target different ppl.

My front fits perfect, but my rear fit pretty crappy. It doesn't matter how bad the fitment is tho- a decent bodyshop can make it fit right. THe only problem is they might have to swiss-cheese the car to make it work. The front splitter does look off to me- looks too thin.

Buy replicas and save money for the good stuff! (The stuff that actually makes you fast instead of looking fast)

I think I might pick one of these up...
