^^ I couldn't agree more with what you said. Its called competition and its not different then all the exhaust set ups or even intake pipes for many different cars out there. Why is there more then one MFG?? or why is there more then one private label out there?

Funny thing is some of these parts people have NO clue where they really come from and some of these parts come from the same MFG facility with a different name slapped on it and all you are paying for is name brand!!! I posted in the Club House a week ago about this same subject. If you haven't seen it you should go check it out.

pic of body kit:
Sorry I dont like that set up. doesnt flow with the car IMO. Granted there are not many options.

I really like the rear. especially since its the full replacment for th4e bumper, not just some lip that will never really match. I stll think when I get my kit in December I am going to do the Lexus oem kit from japan, because I want flawless/oem paintmatch even if it means the lines are more conservative. as low as the car is it doesnt need a crazy kit that will have the lip ripped off. 2800 dollars and probably 150 to200 dollars for install. no prep, no paint

got the point but the japanese guys are rocking real asanti wheels, not basanti.

the kit.. i have no idea who makes it. could be a super jdm company or could be a small taiwan shop. if i was to buy it, id buy an orignal not a replica.

why buy "ed hardy" while i can buy "ed hardly" shirts that are 1/4 of the price in downtown la?

So are these pics of the exact kit you all are selling or a copy of it? If it's a copy, why do you continue to use pics of cars that are not representative of your replica products? That's a little misleading to the consumers including our community.

I wouldn't mind buying the rear roof spoiler. Don't care much for brand as long as the quality is there.

The whole kit IMO is ugly, full replacement or not.

good luck with that whole "flawless/oem paintmatch," your sadly mistaking if you think all OEM stuff will fit like a glove and match the car. I know I won't be shocked when it doesn't fit or color match.

most of the time when a lip will rip off is when its driver error. most people who care about their cars actually drive like they do. from road debris to parking blocks, u gotta know how to drive... given some of it u cant help it, but for the most of it if people were more cautious when driving it would last.
