Because sporting fake and calling authentic is a crime against humanity.. what is your point? Do you really not get what he's saying?

Lol I posted that a week ago, I guess you remember everything everyone said on threads, No way you went and checked because you just happen to remember... you scare me. You really dont get sarcasm or anything anyone is saying... I'm done talking to a rock. You're absolutely right on everything rpx13, I hope to see your "authentic AC kit" at a car show near you.

My only point is people rock whatever they want, but people who rock fakes shouldnt be handing out free advertisement for these companies. That will be all.

you didn't answer the question; you merely deflected my question by asking a question of your own!

FYI, i have attended lexus meets, and i have no problem telling those who are interested in my kit that i have an original jdm prussian blue lip kit. personally i would feel embarrassed to say i rock a fake kit (but that's me).

so i ask you again: if YOU attended a lexus meet, and someone asks YOU what kit you have installed (and you have a fake kit installed), are you going to tell them its an original kit or a fake kit?

that is completely incorrect. the ppl that are hurt are the ppl that sell the original. they are cheated by the company that makes the rep kit. in this case its shine. they are being cheated out of money and/or exclusivity by everyone.

and if you are serious with the everyone here has rocked a replica...i sir must be the ONLY person to not have done so. never had a rep anything. from my integras to my gs, i have had and do have 100% authentic parts. personally i would rather have nothing than have a copy of anything.

Haha yea I feel you man, I've been lurking around the forum for 2 years, and i've had my sc for a year, guess I have sth to say lol. I'll tone it down BUT it doesn't take away the fact that he went as far as going through my post just to find me agreeing with replicas... That's kinda sick you know?

I wonder how long until the T's Project Kit gets knocked off lol......oh wait it looks too much like OEM 97 so there's no real demand for it.
