Default Knockoff bodykit Lexus gs

By the look of things this knockoff looks pretty good. Just take it too a good bodyshop. I know most of the big-dogs here are anti knock-off too.

FAke knockoff list
1. junction produce
2.wald
3.wise (lextasy.com)
4.admiration
5.veilside
6.auto couture
7.Rmm (sarona.com)
8.l-sportline (sarona.com)
9. I even saw a knock-off Vertex kit out their. ( cant find it anymore)
10. about 2 more are out their , but I forgot the real name of the kits

Most can be found on Ebay

the others if you search good enough, you will find them

I agree!!! I priced out the complete Sarona Design L-Sportline Kit a while back...they wanted like $950! Hey, not bad for a HOT looking bodykit that is almost impossible to come by right now. I don't care what others think, if a bodykit that I absolutely love is discontinued and good quality knock-offs are available I will jump on it rather than settling for a genuine kit for $1800 and not really like it (or not getting a kit at all).

BTW the faux Vertex kit is still available...I'll look for the website again; I think they wanted around $850 for the entire kit.

I'm pretty sure that car is in Japan and not a raceon knockoff kit, I posted pictures of it in this thread more than a year ago.

Raceon has hijacked pictures from several members and posted it on their website claiming them to be pictures of the kit they are selling (one from a moderator on our forum). This looks to be the same.

I don't personally know anything about their kits, but it always smacks of trying to pull one over on a potential buyer when they do that... posting pics of the 'real' kit stolen from someone else instead of their own knock-off products. I wouldn't spend a dime with them.

I got my kit from ebay and regretted it horribly. the front and rear needed extensive work. lots of additional time and money had to be used not to mention my sideskirts were 4" short on each side. I had to buy new sides which costed more than the whole original kit. don't waste your time and money with knockoffs. trust me, i've been through it.

If you are going to go this knock-off route, might as well also buy some fake Jordans, put diesel gas in your ride and quite frankly, just trade in the Lexus for something else.

In the long run, heck the short run, the product will more than likely cost you MORE to have than the real stuff. It will crack, break or not fit. It will need adjusting. Paint might not match. It will become a headache.

There are instances where knock-offs are fine but those are few and far between.

Your Lexus deserves better.

I agree with 1sicklex...as our cars get cheaper, so are the ones modifying it. So many tuner people thinking they're driving Hondas and putting crap on their cars....its a shame but a reality.

Forget knock off parts, why go through all that trouble. Just buy a maxima and put some Lexus GS badges and call it a day

why do you continue to do Honda style mods to your Lexus?





YOUR RIGHT ARE CARS ARE BECOMING CHEAPER, I PLAN TO OWN MY GS FOR ONLY 1 MORE YEAR.NO POINT IN SPENDING A TON OF MONEY ON PARTS ANYMORE WHEN I CAN SAVE MONEY. ESPECIALLY (IF) IT LOOKS JUST AS GOOD. FOR EXAMPLE LIKE ALL THE PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM WHO HAVE FAKE JUNCTION PRODUCE LIGHTS AND THE FAKE JP SPOILER LIKE CARBONGS

haha i guess that is a call out. i only purchased the replica because i was going to wrap it in carbon fiber anyways. let me tell you though i did have to pay more to get it to fit correctly on the right side piece. it was off by almost half an inch.

Just to make sure folks don't continue to be confused by the original poster... it's not likely a knockoff kit at all in the picture. It's most likely a stolen picture of an Aristo with a real kit.
