^^^ because companies take time to research and develop products that are high in quality, for then other companies to copy the design and reap the profits from the original, well thought of design.

There is a reason why the real parts cost much more....they are of superior quality. For that alone, they are worth spending more on them.

I'm not trying to get on you whatsoever, but just shedding some light...put it this way: try selling your 600 dollar wheels for anywhere remotely close to what you paid. I can tell you right now, it won't happen. On the other hand, real used LMs sell for almost the amount they cost brand new (depending on condition of course). Fake parts will never retain any sort of value, unlike the real counterparts. This goes for anything. Ever notice why used OEM front lips still cost 300, when they are originally 360...you gotta pay to play.

In the end though, it all comes down to your budget...so whatever you can get, more power to you, regardless of real or fake.

Meh, do whatchu gotta do man. Don't listen to these people. I don't like the direction you've taken, but what should my opinion matter.

Car looks good. More photos after the lip gets painted. if you're trying to be unique with the shot of u standing on the trunk, try harder. That shot had no purpose.

It still looks stupid. You should still sell your car to someone that gets it. And brilliant move standing on the trunk.
