its like deciding whether you should buy a real Mugen Hardtop for about 4-6k or buying a replicated good fitment Mugen style Hardtop for about 1500-2k with hardware. To me these are body parts, as long as the structure and fitment is good, I'm fine with it. If were are talking about brakes, suspension, exhaust, etc. then to me that's a different story.

We should not talk about companies stealing other company's design because that goes for even the authentic companies like ASM. Lets just keep it to whether we like the product or not.

BTW, I never buy replicas; I only buy authentic.
There is a pretty significant distinction between stealing a design and using one as an inspiration (as in the case of ASM and Porsche)

This car is a beast Soon to be painted as well.
I know the owner and to him, it's the motor that matters. Like his EXO X, his S is also quick.

BTW VIS FTW!

lol i think the car looks all Mad Max I had put it as my background and didnt even notice it had replica parts. I had to make a decision between no boost and authentic body parts or boost and non authentic I went boost and shine none of us are made of $$$ and in this economy were lucky to buy any parts real or replica...
