Oh oh. Another rep vs authentic thread. It boils down to supply and demand. If there is no demand because the price is too steep, then the market will determine who wins......or loose. Bottom line, there are a few who price themselves out of the market place. I'm not saying the reps are a solution either but manufacturers should be able to figure out what the landscape will be both on the production and consumer side.
As for the saying you get what you pay for.......you also get what you pay for at such a bargain with reps manufactured in the US. Professional installers and reputable shops would admit it hard to tell the difference once reps are installed -- unless you buy the cheap e-bay items. If you put a bunch of Amuse cars next to each other and do a walk around can you really tell the difference because the quality of paint, finish, and install is just as important as the kit itself. You may have an authentic alright but if it is hacked onto your car then you just might as well have your 5 year old girl bedazzle your Z.
