I'll go to ROSS and buy the same thing for a quarter of the price You be proud of those jeans... and I'll be proud that at your price I also bought a shirt, jacket and shoes to go with it!

To me honest... and I dont mean any disrespect or to offend you, but you seem to be very young and/or sheltered. You chose priciples and pride, which are all relative and psychological which ultimately makes it illogical, and you completely disregareded all value of money, which is tangible and universally important to everyone.
It takes a life time to build respect and one post to lose it! =) Come on dude, how much respect could you have had for him....he had like 60 posts when he entered this thread. BTW, JUAN, I'm getting a replica too.

i'm really pissed off because how come G352NV's frds replica front fits so well, and mine doesn't? sigh... here are some pictures.




Hey man where did you order this kit from?

The replica looks wrong without the emblems. My neighbor has the real deal and it looks so much better with the front and side emblems.

Not if you cut it out in the front and fill in the sides.

Hold on a sec. He paid for perfect fitment and those fog lights and real CF around them. I wanted the real deal. I was tired of playing the guessing game with knock offs. My best friend bought a KS knock off and it fit great. But for me I didnt have the time to deal with mine not fitting. I also did a review on the knock off and how it fit.
I dont care if someone buys a knock off BUT dont talk **** about someone that buys the real deal. Im guessing that the knock off fitment problems will start to surface now that there has been a bunch sold.

Ichibahn, you're the worst kind of poser. You're calling me names and my neighbor and idiot for owning the real thing when you call your fakie fakie kit kenstyle in your sig. Get a life.

Thank you! At least someone here has common sense. His car looks amazing. I'd just like to add that I've seen two knockoff kits on the G in person and I'm sorry but the fitment was still nothing near the real deal and the fiberglass is too thick. The Carbon around the foglights on the real kenstyle looks great as did the foglights that come with it. Both of the knockoff kits I saw had no foglights and it didn't look like there was a good way of mounting them. Also, that chicken wire grill on the knock off makes the car look cheap.

I realize how much cheaper the knockoff kits are but I simply will not skimp when it comes to my G. I bought an Infiniti, not a Honda. I plan to own this car for awhile and I've seen alot off knockoff kits on my friends 240's chip, crack, and sag after a few months. I'm far from rich but I'm going to save my money until I can get the real thing.

it came from a forum member... his nam is 350forums.

As far as orginal and replicas, I will continue to encourage a good replica over the originals as long as they carry such a ridiculously high price. I bodykit should NOT cost that much! Untill they are at a reasonable price, a good replica installed by a good bodyshop is the way to go.

well, when a "good replica" comes out, you let us know. all the ones I have seen are marginal at best and just look cheap without the emblems and they have that nasty chicken wire. as g352nv said, the fitment issues will only get worse as more are produced.

sorry if i prefer kenstyle over chenstyle but I will continue to encourage japanese tuners to make original product by buying their stuff rather than giving money to sweatshops to make cheap copies.
