People who said go authentic, they just want to "Stop the copy" and support Japan. Cause if you buy rep for alot less, japan will just stop making production because no one will buy from them.
my stop the copy is inside joke lol....

I don't support "Replica" i don't buy or install copy on my car, but at the end of the day it's your choice, and how much money you are willing to spend on your car.
this is how i look at it "if i can't afford I keep it stock" that's my opinion.

Just keep it clean and simple. Dont go nuts IMO. Negative camber, ugly butt ground effects, etc. Just do it right, think about four steps ahead and do your research. Then when you figure it out, do more research just to make sure its what YOU want.
