I just read an article about some European hackers posting up hundreds of fake ebay posts a day. They figured out a back door to repost like nothing happened right after eBay takes them down.

Also, this seller doesn't have to say replica or M-style. He's a straight out scammer. All he's going to get is a negative feedback, but the people buying it probably don't know any better anyway. I knew a guy who bought a few old school Jordan replicas in China and made $800 with a $750 profit. He got 2 negative feedbacks, but the buyer didn't know what to do about it. The guy made off with $750 and never used ebay again.

edit: Looks like the item's been removed. Did the OP report it?

 

Its a fake, but my friend has one on his turboed RSX, and its fine. Most of the fakes use K&N cloth as filter material.

Mugen does make a replacement filter. I'm not sure what the material is but I'm sure the quality is there as it's Mugen.

Mugen Filter Replacement

 

Ebay is full of fake products. The best defense is to familiarize yourself with the product catalog from the manufacturer. Mugen doesnt make an S2000 strut bar. For the products they do make, look at pics of the real thing and compare to ebay. This site is FULL of great pics for reference.

 

geez...3 year-old thread...

If you're buying a used Mugen part like I always do, ask for a pic of the shipping label, the box it came in, and/or receipt from well-known seller (ie. King, Bulletproof, AJ-R). If they can't provide neither, beware.
