Adam, you know I really like this car and I can respect the build cause its dope, but to claim a fake, knockoff kit as the real thing instead of just saying replica vertex or VIS kit...is kinda wack. There's no need to explain WHY you put the kit on but just identify it for what it is and not what it isn't

i dont think so,it is a big deal if someone is faking the funk so to speak. IMHO i don't believe in replica's they hurt the real business's who make quality parts. if i cant afford a real part i will save to buy the real one instead of buying a replica.....thats just me though. i waited to find a REAL TTE lip and not supporting the replica company who is helping to put the real company out of business or atleast helping to cause them not to be shipped over here anymore. im not that old (im almost 30) but i still live pretty old school where i will pay a little extra for better fitment,better customer service and quality...

Honestly I agree w/ you to an extent... As for body kits if your using it on your drift car, replicas are some times the best bet, after buying Bomex kits & J-Blood & spending all that money to have them destroyed (& It doesn't matter how good you are... Shhh Happens) I went with the polyurethane reps... I won't get on a man, that put in alot of sweat & man hours on a pretty difficult build over something soo small...
