I don't read Japanese but 32,000 yen is $393.69 plus import cost. It looks like you have to mod the grill frame your self.

That website looks pretty ghetto. I'd be careful on that one. A picture is one thing but who knows how it would turn out. I would play it safe and get the JP or JZS grille

1 version of the jp grille requires you to mod your own grille so i dont see the difference

jzs grille does not even have a surround (nor was it intended to) so when installed, it looks unfinished up close.

i'm not following with those recommendations.

LOL I agree, But I also agree with YaKuZa on the website. If its real it's a new lane opening up for those who don't like to be raped.

I need some Japanese (English speaking) friends man.....

Disclaimer...Lee didn't tell you to buy this, if you get ripped....that's yo A__! LOL If you come up, then you lucked out.

people who buy replica are the one who can't afford real things or are not willing to pay the amount the money the real thing cost so these rep are not going to hurt the original maker since the buyers wouldn't buy the real ones anyway.

thats not even true....some of those people would just poney up the dough or would save their pennies and buy the original if a cheaper rip off wasn't available

im not trying to turn this into a replica bashing thread though so im done arguing this

it's not about saving up. i can buy the real one anytime, but $1000 for a grill is ridiculous if you ask me. imagine someone back up in to your car and break the grill or what people would think of you when they find out you payed $1k for that grill. lol
