^Prodrives are engineered by Rays. They use the Progressive TE face, right? They are legit from what I've read. Great deal but few fitment choices or something like that.

Your box looks pretty legit. It just seems like it is too good to be true unless they were obtained via alternate channels. LX-Mode stuff have nice finishes from what I've seen. The finish alone is what makes me question the $109 sell price (with shipping), but yours looks like it is pretty well done either way.

Edit: Upon closer inspection of the first photo, the box does look to be folded differently (corrugated edges visible at top and bottom of box, rather than just one). Not saying that means anything since the flaps are identical.

I'm not trying to argue, flame or make fun of anyone. I don't understand why some people can not believe that a small piece of plastic would cost so much to make where someone would have to mark it up to a rediculous. Just because someone buys it for a lower price doesn't make it fake or less real? I'm sure if l-tune bought it from eBay, painted, and sold it for $600 you wouldn't know since everything would check out.

I'm done. I'll post up pictures next week when it's done. Yes I am happy with my "fake" lx mode grill I bought off eBay for $109 +tax.

jeez people, calm down.

Either way, if its fake or real it serves the same purpose. If there are visual defects then who cares, most likely everyone will get it painted or wrapped anyways.

OP enjoy the grille

Fake or real it still looks good. Most important- the buyer is satisfied.

If I got an LX Mode grille for $600 and I saw this for $109, I'd be kind of jealous.

Good deal there

I would never be satisfied knowing its a rep, that's just me.

MSRP: 299$ Still has me scratching my head though.

I remember when I ordered from Carson, it was less the $600, also without the LX-Mode box. They said it's Authentic, but packed differently, I didn't care actually if it's Authentic or not, I just wanted it.

I hope it's not exactly like mine.
