I just checked Bulletproof Automotive, all the C-west bumpers are around $800 or less, very resonable for a quality product of PFRP. I know that the rear splash guards are very nice for $361 in carbon. Other than Top Secret, I haven't seen anyone make a set like those, I would purchase them myself but they will not work with my Varis heat sheilds. So who is making replicas of the C-west stuff??

This is why all high performance car don't us abs plastic for their exterior.. Look at the Z tune GTR all replace by FRP or Dry Carbon..
this i understand, but again, i say for the masses, this doesnt work, and it goes right along with what i said. And abs doesnt weigh much at all, however you hit it on the head when you said that it will flex which does you no good on an aerodynamic part. I was just trying to give everyone an idea of why these parts cost what they do to manufacture and what they are paying for.

So, again, attack the consumer, call the consumer names, but don't attack or call names to the actual "rip-offs" because they can cause problems for you. What a coward you are.
Like I said, your opinion is important to no one else other than probably yourself. What part of the world have you been living in not knowing that C-west has had their stuff copied? Your ignorance really shines through with the points that you attempted to initially bring forward and once you realized you were on the losing end considering you don't know what you are talking about, you decided to attack me personally as if I am a bad person for putting items in the classifieds at majorly discounted prices to hopefully pass on a savings to a fellow Z owner.
Lets just agree to disagree and if you have things to say that are OFF TOPIC, feel free to PM me.
My utmost sincere regards

Enough. I'm a strong authentic supporter. Yes the replicas are cheaper, yes as a consumer, you would save money. Yes there's a bigger picture in the tuning scene that you just don't care about, yes you have to pay full price for your items (so do I).
But here's something that would affect the replica supporters... With the authentic companies going out of business, where do you think the replica molds will come from? Pretty soon they will have to do their R&D, their own first molds etc. And they lack the equipment and experience like big companies such as cwest, top secret, varis, etc, to do the R&D AS efficiently, so their final retail price would reflect that and be even higher than what the authentic companies are charging at this time.
The whole thing is a viscious circle. Buy whatever it is you want, and I will keep supporting the authentic companies. It doesn't bother me who is buying replicas and who is buying authentic. But I do appreciate some of the "bigger picture" perspectives shown in this thread.
But now it's just turning into a waste of bandwidth with the name calling and bashing. Closed.
