Carbon Signal Raptor VS authentic Fujimura

I have a knock-off kit. One reason for doing so was the addition of carbon-fibre to the piece, the other reason was i read that the fit is very good

I have a knock-off kit. One reason for doing so was the addition of carbon-fibre to the piece, the other reason was i read that the fit is very good (it is). I had heard the authentic kit had fitment issues.

Having said that, I did have a manufacturers flaw in my rear bumper. As a result I needed some customer service to rectify the issue. The customer service was horrible. I will go authentic next time just for the hopes of getting better customer service incase there is a problem.

Unfortunately most of these businesses that deal with aftermarket automotive parts don't care what happens after they receive your money.

SPEEDFREAK: Although normally you would be correct, there was a claim made that fitment on the authentic bumper "had fitment issues" So yes while I would normally agree with you, I am trying to research this claim further. This in my mind would be a reason to go with a replica over authentic. IF in fact this is the case

No I read your clarifying statement before my post. But if in fact what you state is true from what you have heard that an authentic piece has fitment issues and the replica is better then all bets are off.
