Default What the Kazama? Caught!!! tsk tsk tsk Tunerbash

So apparently the TunerBash (TBAD) and SuperStreet guys have been marketing their supposed Kazama S13 for their TBAD events. well..... caught! apparently this faker is a USDM converted to S15 ordered from Kazama and then copied the Original Kazama graphics.

is it even LHD?



Man I'd be proud if someone copied a replica of my car but man I'd be so pissed!

So if they ordered the car from Kazama which owns the original, how is it a fake? If anything, its just a copy... You know like with race cars, theres usually 2 or 3 more in case one crashes or something.... Whats your point?

they call them "replicas" and making a car into a "replica" is a big thing over in Japan and the Japanese do it frequently....especially WRX's and famous rally cars.

well if the Kazama guys knew about it I guess it would be OK.

and its a fake b/c if you market your car as "The" kazama car and its not then its a fake. The Kazama car is much more then lights, paint and decals...

still its a nice copy! props but just sort of shady.
