Default Fake J's Racing parts?

ok guys so i've heard from a good few ppl about a lot of different companies out there making fake J's Racing products... so i'm trying to find out if anybody here knows a site that sells genuine J's Racing products??

heres a detail message about companies making fake J's racing products

Dear Ben Leung
First of all, it is almost 9 years since we, J’s Racing, started a business

relationship with your company in 2002. We fully acknowledge that your sales

& marketing have made the current J’s Racing popular status in the North America

and we deeply thank you for that.
Unfortunately we have to present you a rather unpleasant notice today. We recently

learned that in spite of your status of an official distributor of J’s Racing, you

have been copying J’s Racing products in a factory abroad and selling the products

as the genuine J’s Racing merchandise.
In order to verify the information and to get the clear evidence we actually purchased

a product from you for an inspection. Regrettably we found that you not only copied the

product but also copied our packing tape and box to make the product look exactly like a

genuine J’s Racing product.
Now that we have a proof and we consider your conduct as a criminal offense, we no longer

can maintain the current business relationship with you. We have already consulted an

attorney in the British Columbia and we are ready to take strong legal actions if necessary.
We strongly feel that an official distributor should be the one policing the copied or

knockoff products. It is outrageous that an official distributor itself sells a copied

product as a genuine one. This is an inexcusable conduct even from the social point of

view and we will not forgive this kind of crime.
Regarding this matter, we are considering the number of actions. We will give you one

chance of providing us a sincere response and coming up with an offer for a monetary
Our actions include but are not limited to

1) Termination of the distributor status

2) A legal action to demand accounting information on the quantity of the copied products

produced and to demand a definite proof for destroying the copied products.

3) Bringing a criminal charges against A&J Racing

4) Disclosure of the issue on our website using your company’s name

5) Disclosure of the issue on the several forums in the world using your company’s name
To name several forums,
https://www.s2ki.com/
http://www.8thcivic.com/
http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/
http://www.honda-tech.com/
http://hondamarketplace.com/
http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/
http://www.team-integra.net/
http://www.definitivedriving.com/
http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/
6) Notification of the issue to all the manufacturers J’s Racing has business relationship with

7) Notification of the issue to all the companies J’s Racing has traded with

8) Notification of the issue to all the magazine publishing companies A&J Racing has relationship with

9) Notification of the issue to your father, Anthony
Those actions will inflict serious damages to your company.

In the business world, the trust is the most important. It is very regrettable you have lost our trust.

We will be waiting for your sincere response and a specific compensation offer.

The deadline is April 22, 2009.
Sincerely
J’S RACING Junichi Umemoto

J’S RACING Hisaaki Murakami

If I'm reading this correctly, A&J Racing has been producing bootleg J's Racing parts? From what I remember, they have a bad reputation here. How are they still a sponsored company on this website?

Old news, contact any of our sponsors here that sell j's: gotuning, evasive, etc.

Anyone else think it's a little bit odd that... if the deadline at the bottom is April 22, 2009, that means it must have been written before April. If their business relationship started sometime in 2002, then they've been in business for 6-7 years. Who the hell rounds up to 9?

What happened in the end, how much Wrath did J's lay down??

Maybe it's just me, but that letter doesn't sound very professional.
