Default Version Select Vertex Replica, not for sale in Cali?

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174542

here is the original thread from the vendors classified section for a replica Vertex style kit for the 350z made by Version Select.

Anyone know why they wont sell the kit in California? I PM'ed and called both Version Select and RnD but have not gotten back a response.

anyone have personal experience with body kits made by version select?, quality fitment etc?

That's funny, considering the store is located IN California:

If you live in Northern California,
Stop by our showroom at
Auto RnD
1503 N Milpitas Blvd
Milpitas Ca 95035
Maybe Vertex USA has exclusivity in CA and they threatened them to sue if they sold there? I don't know.

ok...
to bring light to this.
Version select will not sell to california due to many replica companies.
since their replica kit actually fits well. They were worried they would get copied.
However..
IF you are local to our shop we can get you a 350z version kit.

So the issue is they're afraid of someone making a replica out of their replica?

haha omg thats hilarious...

Eventually, somebody is going to be able to get a hold of it and still copy it.

Sooner or later, with all this replica, Japanese companies wont sell their products anybody in the U.S. anymore because of these copycats killing their market.

So they're only encouraging replication by making themselves unavailable to California's market.

The irony...

yeah I saw that. He was calm and polite about what he was conveying, but it basically translated to:

"I starved my *** off, eating top ramen every night, to get this company running, and you fake mark azz b1tches wanna rip-off my shiet?!? *** rocks my gear! I run d1 you motherfuggers! In a ganster Soarer cuz I'm original! I drift on the street...you can't touch me!!"


In a nutshell, that's what I basically got from it.
