Here is my view with replicas, I think its all depends how you spend money in a smart way, for me I don't care if it's replica or fake because body kit don't have any function but look. I bought a front lip for my BMW it cost me $1300 just a small front lip but when i found out there a replica selling on ebay for $399.00 I hate myself for almost 2 days because I think I should get the cheap one (replica) instead of getting the 'real" one. However I will spend $7000 on the good exhaust system instead of the cheap one because you really tell the difference, so I just want to say this is how you spend your money wisely.

It should go well with your fake Rolex, fake true religion jeans and counterfeit Gucci shades. It should also go well with your wife/girl friends Luis Buiton purse (yes I do know how to spell LV, I was trying to make a point), that Chanel shades she is sporting, yup it's also fake just like the matching front lip spoiler.

Then roll into the Neiman Marcus curb site feeling like a million bucks going straight to the clearance racks. Didn't find anything they could afford so they go to Chinatown and buy more counterfeit products.

I see these folks every now and then. I shake my head and think, to each is own. I couldn't live like that. I'd rather save my money, buy the real thing or not at all. It's just not the same. Remember Luxury is a lifestyle.

I liked the fact that it's made out of polyurethane. Looks very similar to the skipper. Car looks great but I really would love to see it painted white to do a little more justice for myself before I make the purchase. If you have access to another GS with the same front lip painted, please post pics, thanks.

No problem with reps. Just don't fake the funk. Period. The end.

I think it looks good, regardless. Different strokes for different folks.
