Default Junction Produce Replica.

Hi.

http://www.aerotrends.com/eMerchantP...idproduct=1865

/S

WTF? what a load of crap it doesnt even say "style" or "replica". I mean I'm sure most people will know its not original but still harsh false advertisement.

Sad, but knock-off products like this will be the downfall of Junction Produce and the likes...

nah... Just means Junction Produce is gonna have to step it up a notch

question: How long has JP had this kit? How long since its been changed? And have they come out with another? Just my opinion, but its about time to make a change Now that I think about it, paying $5k for a kit thats been around for years is kinda... idk. but then again, forgot, the 2gs is done now no need to make another I now retract my statement

I hear exactly what you mean. No doubt the JP kit is classic but its true, it is a little dated now and JP needs to step it up. A lot of their newer kits are starting to look more modern but unlike other brands JP will only make one kit per car where other brands like Aimgain and K-Break will make a new kit every other year. But at the same time I understand that JP does not want to invest in a kit for older vehicles.

Aimgain alone has 5 kits for the 2GS

Premium

Cygnus

Generation

Euro Line

Smart Line
