I think it is, looks exaclty like my replica that I bought on ebaY right after X-mas, mine came in GREAT condition for a replica and only required about 1.5 hours of prep work on my part, which is VERY easy btw. Take some bondo, spead it on impurities, dimples, rough spots, ect. wait for it to dry and use course then fine sand paper to finish. Mine is in the shop right now getting painted and should be on by tommorow, i will have pics up as soon as i get home!

The wing looks great in the pictures they show. The picture of the painted and installed wing on the car is a picture that has been around for a while and is probably not the wing they are selling. The wing they show on top of the box looks good, but I don't know if it is a real picture of their product or not.

The price is so low it would worry me. Also the cost for painting the wing is pretty low. There are good deals, and deals that are too good.

I tend to look at the text in an ad for a product closely. If there are a ton of spelling and grammatical errors, or if words are used that don't even exist I start to doubt the professionalism of the seller.

This may just be the best deal on a Nismo replica wing ever and I may be completely wrong in doubting this product. If you get the wing, be sure to tell us what you think of it when you actually have it in your hands.

Usually prep and paint for a fake part is significantly higher than for the real part. There goes some (if not most) of your savings right there.

I gaurentee paint and prep isn't going to run $600.00 though. I just wish Nismo would drop the price of their wing down to $550.00 or so. We wouldn't have to worry about buying knock off's.

Sorry to chime in late here, but no OEM or OEM supplier is going to produce a fiberglass body part in today's market. That material is not at all up to par with the quality and durability standards required. If you plan on keeping your ride for more than a year, forget about it.

For most things in life, you get what you pay for.

I know you've heard it before, but we're working on North American release of these parts very hard right now. These will then only be available from your authorized Nissan dealer, naturally.

I know the key piece of information that is missing is WHEN...

Being that it's cheapo fiberglass and available on ebay, that kind of suggests non-OEM.
