I'm certainly not a fan of most JDM products. I think they are overpriced and that they aren't really worth the money. With that said, I really don't like replicas. No matter how you want to dress it up, it is someone copying and profiting off the R&D of another company.

I understand why certain companies make replicas, but I honestly can't help but shake my head at them. They are profiting off someone else's work, and that's all there is to it.

I'm guessing everyone that has the "Real" JDM body kit - goes around telling everyone that it's real too..

Again guys - we are talking about a body kit!!! Spend your money on JDM wheels so your don't die in your car going over a pot hole. And JDM performance parts so your engine does not blow up! And if you want spend your $$ on real JDM body kits then do so - but don't think you are cool or your helping some kind of cause by doing so.. IT'S A BODY KIT!!!!

What does it matter if it is "just a body kit"?

I'm not talking about the quality of the piece. I'm talking about the creativity and design sense it took to make it. There's nothing stopping any of these replica companies from making their own kits -- but they don't. They rip the design of someone else.
