Question...

Would you rather buy an authentic J's front half bumper with the seamline going across the top or a knockoff J's style full front bumper, which does not have the seam, for less $$$? Don't you wish the authentic J's bumper was a full bumper kit?

No opinions from me, just posing the question

If I can get my hands on a J's Racing Style bumper, perfect fit and construction for hundreds less...why the hell wouldn't I?

why do you hate replicas? because they're cheap and available enough that you are no longer unique?

are you pissed that people can get the same look as you for less money?

It's just the market playing itself out. Something cool is going to come out, people are going to copy it and sell it for less money. Then someone will make something cooler, and people will copy that....

it will never stop....in any market. Hell, i eat no-name Cherrios everyday...yet never think of the Nabisco janitor's life I've ruined because I didn't eat his product. Yes, cherrios is an everyday commodity that can't be compared to a 1500 dollars racing bumper....but it illusrates that point. J's is doing well enough in its domestic market that they don't have to worry about Phantomz Illusionz dumb ass copy.
