Chargespeed Rear on.

To each, his own.

As some of the other guys have said, I like his setup and really like the ChargeSpeed bumper , but that badge on it just seems to cheapen the look of it, imho. Or at least breaks up the smoothness of the look.
But what do I know about a smooth look, I own a rice KS rear bumper.

The fact of the matter is replica kits are synonymous with poor quality and crappy fitment. I am not saying there aren’t the occasional few who literally “luck out”, but in most cases modifications have to be done, sometimes EXTENSIVELY.
Anyone remember this thread?

To each his own i guess. You can roll the dice and go knock off, or you can do it right from the start like Devil Dog did.
I’ve learnt the hard way that most times in life you get what you pay for.

When did i say all replicas fit just as good as authentics???
That's why you do your research before buying anything, replica or not. I have INGS replica side and i can guarantee they fit just as well as authentics.
I have not heard any horror stories from klumzyee's products, and from what i've heard and seen in pics his CS rear fit better than the authentic. You really think every authentic piece made fits like a glove? I don't think so!
Do a lil more research before you posts nonsense!

listen, if replicas float your boat, buy replica, i honestly couldn't care less.
and when did i say ALL authentics fit like a glove, did you even read what i said before you responded?
research or not, every purchase is a risk, no matter how many positive reviews a product gets, the chance is always there that you'll be that one unlucky SOB that gets a crappy one. Buying authentic minimises that risk, that is all i was saying.

Clean ride, great setup. Perfect aggressive sides for the rear.
Chargespeed authentic looks better than the replica! I can tell from the pics that its not wavy. That emblem aint really a problem, just look like a backup cam.
However, Klumzyee's replica chargespeed rear is pretty damn good, only small imperfections like the sides that meet the rear fender dont line up 100%, not as smooth, and the part where you mount the plate, theres a big hole that needs to be filled up cus the plate cant cover it.

Even the KS badging doesn't look near as out of place as that emblem on the middle of CS rear bumper. Oh well, I just surprised the OP or anyone thinks it looks good.
