Haha! To be honest the only good replicas I've seen are some ings+1 kits and oem's. I personally have a replica trunk lip and a replica roof spoiler. I only chose to go this way because I only 3M taped them on (well roof spoiler you have to but the trunk lip you don't but i did) and I planned ahead that if they fell off I wouldn't mind. My GFX front lip is real though. You can always shop around for awhile and land on great deals. For example I purchased my front lip for $95 when sewell had the promotion. The trunk and roof spoilers I purchased after plenty of research on sellers only to then use rebate programs to gain back about 11% in cash. So if you spend the time to research you'll land on some goodies. I've used a coupon code for every little thing I've purchased for my car.
To be honest for exterior mods, you really should get the real thing UNLESS you've seen the replicas and you're okay with the quality. I just so happened to have landed on two that were perfect (neither I nor my buddies could differentiate between the fake and real product). But out of all of my friends and I (we all mod our cars), only two of us have purchased kits that actually fit right. I've had a buddy with his civic SI with side skirts that had to be drummeled down to fit, front lip that doesn't fit right at all. Heck he has a REAL mugen rear lip and it doesn't fit right. After $900 and then painting it too.
Just make sure you do plenty of research and at the end, please just don't try to play it off as real. If it's fake, it's fake. Good luck!

im guessing ebay has replicas for whatever you're looking for. if you really want a replica, then make sure others have bought them and it fits right like kuuqi said. with reps you're gna run into fitment issues unless you're lucky. reps that come painted also might not match the OEM paint on your car. do research and choose wisely. best of luck to you.
