Why was the guy a dick for being observant? There's nothing that's incorrect about his statement, is there? And the OP asked, didn't he? Seems like a reasonable result to me... Ask a question, get an answer. All you guys that are getting defensive are doing so for no reason. There was nothing subjective about BEASTMODE's response. If you inferred that, it's your own fault and you probably have some sort of issue with knock-off parts, whether openly or subconsciously.
As for quality and such, we all know how it works. I've got a replica Mugen hardtop, a replica Veilside spoiler, and a replica OEM front lip. Did any of these parts fit perfectly? Nope! Did they fit well? Sure. Would I rather have the real thing? I don't really care. I get compliments on how good my car looks, whether from other owners or random people, so who cares if the parts are 'real' or not? They do their job and I'm happy with them. There's people out there that care about that kind of thing? Fine, let them be, it's their prerogative.
As for replica wheels, I've seen Rotas crack personally. We did a canyon run here last year, and an RSX came out with us on Rotas. He ended up cracking a wheel and his car went off into a ditch (and luckily not over a cliff). Could it happen to any wheel? Sure. Are most of their wheels manufactured as poorly? Possibly, but probably not. They may have a lackluster QA, but if volumes were compared... There's probably a lot more knockoffs out there than there are authentic wheels; it's the way of the world. So are there going to be more horror stories of knockoffs breaking/failing/etc? There should be, even if they were manufactured to the same standard.

OP, what happened to running overfenders in the rear?

strong post! and eh, over fenders don't look all that clean to me, once my rears are fixed it'll look a lot cleaner than over fenders trust me ... btw, this made me pretty happy to see ...

haha represent!

 

goodness gracious... I think the terms hate and hater are the most overused terms on this forum now. Nothing in the repsonses remotely resembles hate regarding the OP's car.
