How do you tell if you have an authentic chargespeed, or a replica one. I am talking about the rear bumper. What clearly distinguishes one from another?

If possible, post pics marking the differences (subtle and obvious ones)

 

badging. thats it..

we carry both replica and authentic..

we are Authorized Chargespeed USA dealers

 

is this badging visible on the outside? inside? both?

 

both i believe

 

can you confirm please? Upon inspection my shop confirmed that for the rear bumper they recieved, it has badging, but only on the inside. There is no visible badging/seal on the outside (which I find to be a bit strange for an authentic product).

Is it possible that the outside badging comes off/fall off in shipping or transit?

 

i believe the authentic one has a badge in the center on the outside.

 

Bigc what I learned today from chargespeed is that the outside seal only exist for older style bumpers, the new style doesn't have it, they looked up my invoice # and confirmed it's an authentic product, so I had the option to have that seal mailed to me in case I want to put it on

 

good to know!

hehe, i can continue to pretend i have an authentic chargespeed rear

 

No worries man!

 

who wana sell their rear set up.. give me shout out...
