Voltex Replica Kit
. Has anyone actually fitted the voltex replica kitted posted by the op on ebay to there evo?
There will always be knockoffs..always be buyers. These guys here getting all mad over it are ****ing morons. Do they honestly think going off on the Internet is going to change anything?
Most people that buy replicas would never think about purchasing a 4k+ original kit even if the replica didn't exist. So how are those companies losing money? Granted, I'm sure they have lost a little but it's NOT just because replicas exist. It's because they are too ****ing expensive for the average person. The risk in damaging a 4k+ kit is not worth it. Rather stay stock. BUT, replicas do exist and that's what I will be going for when I start exterior mods.
You can spend what you want on whatever you want. NO ONE can tell you what to spend your money on, specially ignorant Internet morons.
Oh, and to the guy saying replicas don't perform like an original...prove it. Otherwise STFU if you don't have facts. They are called REPLICAS for a reason. They are direct copies off a mold from an original. The only problem is fitment which only effects how well it fits on the car, not how it performs. That can all be taken care of by any body shop.
I know for a fact ROTA wheels spin in a circle just like the original ce28n or te's LOL. lots of cars are running them at the track and doing just as good as originals. And before you mention anything about them cracking or some bull **** like that, volks, advans etc etc have cracked as well.
Quit all the *****ing and deal with it. Life moves ON
Forgot to add..even if a rota I own cracks or a replica body kit cracks, I can replace it and still spend less then an original. Honestly, I could buy 4 sets of rotas for the price of originals. That would be wheels for life. I could buy 4-5 replica body kits for the price of an original as back ups.
Think about it..what would you really prefer?

Another great point that gets lost.
My poor grammar skills? You honestly think trying to be an english teacher on an internet forum is going to win you an argument? Try remembering jow the intardwebs are today, and how everything is abbreviated, or one big run on sentence. Do i know how the free market works? Yes, i do. Do i give a ****? Nope, but i do have enough common sense to realize that know off products that you so intimately stand behind behind, like your piece of
**** rotas, DO hurt the companies they are trying to poorly imitate. You, and the other knock off fanbois are a joke amongst true enthusiasts... Next time you open your mouth to take your boyfriends dick out, think of something smart to say. Also, try sticking to one subject, we aren't talking about competitive pricing, when we are focusing on knock off products, like it has been said before... You get what you pay for. You buy cheap ****, and it breaks from the poor crsftmanship, then you end up spending almost the same amount of money as the original product trying to fix or replace it. I would be ashamed to be a family member of yours.

I wonder how my Rota wheels have lasted this long from AutoX and Road Racing. I guess I got a defective set of wheels that haven't broke yet.
My opinion on replica kits is this.....
When I owned my sti I wanted a do-luck kit for it, this was side skirts and a rear bumper. I looked around for the kit and soon found it was discontinued. I really wanted the kit so I went with a replica from extreme dimentions. Let me tell you what a disaster that was:
It would not fit at all so I took it to a shop, the shop owner is someone I know and trust. There were no mounting points molded in at all and the side skirts were 2 inches diffrent in length from each other.
20 hours of prep went into the skirts and 5 hours into the rear bumper. Now you tell me at shop rate whether that was worth it or not? The extra $1000.00 or so for a legit kit that everyone can vouch for is worth it....

I agree with the earlier poster stating those big companies never lost any business as they never gained your business to begin with because one never planned on spending that much for a kit of any type.
