Fitment!!! Many replicas fit like crap and cost a ton of money to have a shop get them to look OEM. In many cases, you will spend as much making a bad replica fit as you would just buying an authentic piece.

Jekl hit it right on the head!!!.. You'll see on Craigslist and E-gay that there are a bunch of those little shops selling them... They claim to have "GREAT" fitment but that's all BS... That extra cash you think your saving, you'll end up spending on fitment!!!
