Replica body Kit?

kenchan

Yah but coming from a guy that cant make up his mind doing all the different faux (or watever) kits, vinyls, and paints I'm saving hell of a lot more money on buying just the originals I wanted for my car and keeping them. And I can bet you that my car runs better than yours like how a real Z was meant to be. Not just a pinup girl.

Main issue with you is you seem to lack focus and spend on all kinds of stuff that can probably buy a second Z or a higher performance car. That's a much bigger waste of money to me. but it is entertaining to watch how your car transforms.

dude give it a break. u just coming out as a douche. each person has the right to buy whatever they want with their money and you have to accept how it is. if u really care about the original manf, why don't you just contact them and report. their IP is the only thing they can use to protect themselves, and it would be easy for them to enforce. maybe this is the reason why we are not seeing Zele kit replicas. they can at least force some of these companies to get a license agreement with them (which can be an advantage for one of these companies doing replicas because it will corner the US market for them).

it doesn't appear that amuse care anyways, or else they would have taken action already. they're probably thinking its free advertisement for them.

props to these companies providing replicas/CF versions for having good quality, which is really the only concern for replicas.

de_dust you are right.. Kenchan you are really taking this to a new level.. To talk crap about another member because he chooses to buy performance parts and save money on kits.. Wow - get a life already!! And if you're so pro-origional kits then make one you DOUCHE!!! Have you even tried? What is your kit called? I would love to see your designs? That's right - I don't think you've made one.. I don't even know who you are?

My thoughts - save your money buy FAKE!!! Fake but improved!!! If Amuse and Zele want to sell in the states then make the price lower. It's freaking fiberglass fools!!! And to spend that $$ on real expensive JDM parts - then you're that guy that wasted your $$ and should have saved your $$ to buy an M3.

how lame

Do you even know whats installed in his car to say your stock car rides better than his modified car??

Docaam lives beside me and i rode his car once, this car that you were saying its a pinup girl will attract girls more than you can imagine.

You wanna buy JDM body kit? then go ahead and have fun while speeding lower than 30 MPH because you will be scared as hell from accidents because of your "JDM" body kit that cost 10k dollars.. one small accident and say bye bye to your 10k.

oh and btw there is a story behind his wrap and repainting his car. so next time dont judge before you can afford what he bought for his car

now and get me my coffe

I don't feel like commenting on your intelligence at all.

I love doing what I'm doing specially when the jobs are sponsored

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.

No, I think you missed the point. I have not "wasted" (your words) any money on any of my original JDM bits. Your comments say originals are a waste. I don't think so...especially if you want this industry to keep going. I was just flipping the coin on you to show wat others feel about modding a car...especially one that drives well in stock form.

Your sponsorship explains why you make such comments but I know you have original installs on your car too from looking at the picts. My comments are unbiased from sponsorship. I'm just stating wat I feel about fakes and comments against 'wasting money buying the originals,' that's all. To me redoing things over and over is a big waste of time so watching you do wat you love trial and error is fun. I think you and your sponsors put in a lot of effort into your car.
