L-tuned body kit? ID help
Hey everyone,
I've got a lead on a full Ltuned body kit and even floor mats. How would I be able to check them and make sure they're authentic?

you can tell by the bumper. I believe the authentic L tuned bumper is poly urethane and is relatively heavy compared to a fiberglass counterpart made by AIT. The front bumper also sits out a little further to cover the crash bar since USDM cars have a larger crash bar than the JDM counterpart.
In short,
L tuned = USDM = poly urethane (AIT made a clone that doesn't have the fog light mounting holes)
Carson Tuned= replicated the L tuned kit.
The TRD Altezza Neo V1 bumper is identical just that it is shorter because of a different crash bar on the front. = This was later cloned and called the "Techno R" body kit.

There's also an Altezza Neo V2 bumper, that's more aggressive but it was never cloned.
I may be wrong in some of this but this is all the information that I pieced together.
By the way, I think that kit has been sold.
