Where will all the knockoff comapnies get their ideas from when the real innovators stop coming out with new stuff because they can't get their return on investment. I look at it this way: If you wouldn't wear fake Air Jordans, a fake Rolex or other nice watch, or any other bootleg crap, why would you put fake parts on your car? Here's a link to an interesting piece on what we're discussing here: http://www.bespokeventures.com/blog/?p=1002

Toyota Winglet
(I guess this means, I have to stop buying from Toyota/Lexus now to support the original Innovator Segway)
Segway
Here's a Japanese car manufacturer Mitsuoka that takes British designs and applies them to Nissan bodies, etc..
As for Japanese companies being original, there's a lot more of them being original than U.S. companies, but I could sit here all day and type up a list of knock offs by Japanese companies, copying each other and European companies.
For instance, M-Sports, Vanqish, Vertex, BN-Sports, GP Sports, Ings, Final Konnextion, Aero Palace, Aeromaster , D-Max, Charge Speed, Hippo Sleek, Friends, T R A Kyoto, URAS, Origin, Ride Sports, and Works 9, just happen to have almost identical side skirts for the 180SX, same with their rear bumpers. The fronts are very similar, some with slight changes, some drastic, some not. I can't even tell them apart half the time, and I've spent countless hours looking at 180sx's on websites , Hyper Rev's etc.

We are always looking for new parts, especially if someone has a big win lip or damaged lip, we could try to fix it , make a mold and give you back a new carbon fiber one. We're making the Karmotion lip in carbon fiber right now actually, I'll post pics when it's done.

should i even suggest doing the original sc400 lip.
I think alot of people would buy it.
you guys ever though about carbon fiber lip kit all around.
if i could get a front and rear lip, and sideskirts in carbon fiber, i would have to say i would be quite tempted.
I dont think ive seen it on an sc before. I love the one on my brothers FD.
