What's the big deal if it's fake? Does it make it slower?

Because you can tell. Every fake body kit ive seen doesnt fit that well. im not even going to get started about knock-offs however. But, i don't cheap out on this car. I have certain expectations about how i want it to look and feel, and I get what i want by doing whats neccessary. That being, spending the money on quality parts, parts that work with what im trying to ackomplish. honeslty, spending 2k on a bumper is no big deal compared to what ive got in the car.

Its all a matter of what you're planning to do with the car. You don't ask Chip Foose why he chose to put a custom machined steering wheel in a hot rod instead of get a pre-fabbed one. Its all about the style baby. Not all about go....

....not saying my car doesnt go

cym fc3s: fake body kits are like cheap hookers, yah, they get the job done, but if you can afford to date a model, then do it!!

I'm going to get the knock-off. Who cares? I'd rather spend the extra 1k on some other goodies then the ability to have bragging rights..



I haven't seen any fitment issues with rotary extrememes....
