Kinda bothers me when people describe replicas as 'fake', I see it as paying for what you think is worth..
Kenchan made some valid points on supporting the originals, but he did made an example of the stillen kit and the fitment issue. But I do have to agree with docaam and the others when it comes to comparing replica KITS and performance parts.
why would MOST people prefer JDM over reps? i would assume its cause of bragging rights.. the comparison between the quality of original vs rep (same material or better, better fitment and cheaper to replace) and the thought of more and more new kits are coming out is a good enough reason for me to choose the rep over the original.
exhaust/performance parts/wheels should be the original, but kits, i can do without.
