Win or Revolution Kit
I just found this on eBay. It looks like the Win Racing Kit. Or is it the Revolution?

Can you point out the differences?

I believe that the Revolution kit is a knock off of the Win. I also think that that Revolution kit is made by Carisma but I could be wrong about that?
The difference will be quality of workmanship and quality of fiber glass...if the Revolution is even made out of fiber glass. Also the price of the Win kit is about $4,000 +/- a couple a hundred. The Revolution $900.
Don't cheap on your car, you drive a Lexus not a Yugo.

Those first two pics are NOT of the same car. Check out the grill's, the first is a chromed out 98-00 grill and the second is a stock 2001+ grill (it has fatter, less 'ribs').
I think the first is CSHFLW's car and the second is LEXTACTY44's car but i could be mistaken.
Regarding the kit I don't know, you're gonna have to wait for Manaray or Globe's judgement :)

$500 has got to be the Revo kit. You're getting what you are paying for. The one on the left is CSHFLW and the right is LEXTACY44.
Heres more pictures of LEXTACY44

Ok guys I emailed the seller and he said it is a Revolution kit.
As some of you pointed out, the car on the left is CSHFLW's and the other is LEXTASY44's.
A few of you said that CSHFLW had the Revolution kit on his car (who could forget that thread)
. I looked at both cars for some time and I honestly couldnt tell the difference.
IF I had to buy one of these kits for my car I will probably buy the Revolution kit. :eek:
I really dont think that the good/bad quality argument holds up here. I say this because I have heard too many stories of 'real' body kits not fitting properly (some L-Sportsline and RMM pieces). Just as some 'knockoff' kits dont fit properly.
From what I see CSHFLW kit FITS just as well as LEXTACTY44's.
As far as price goes, Carisma could easily price the same kit at $2999. Will you still get what you pay for? Will that mean that the kit was made with better standards?
Do you guys know how the two kits are made? Or are you just assuming that since it is cheaper then its quality is substandard? If that’s the case Carisma should just raise the price and more people will buy it.
p.s. I'm not buying this kit because it is too low to be driven in NYC

What really sucks about having a kit that's been imitated: It's hard to prove that you have the REAL thing.
I mean, if someone copied EGOIST kit and called it SuperDuper kit, and someone bought the SuperDuper and said it's real EGOIST, how can you prove him lying? Not many people have seen the real EGOIST, so how do you compare?
In contrast, if someone bought a real EGOIST, how does he prove himself legit? If no one knows the quality of the real kit compared to SuperDuper, how do you tell real from fake?
So conclusion, get something that hasn't been imitated. 1) Alot of people will probably get REVOLUTION and call it WIN (i'm not saying anyone is doing that, i'm saying it's possible). 2) Even if you DO get the real kit, if people accuse you of getting a fake, you can't whip out your Japanese receipt ALL THE TIME.
