yeah to go back on topic... i got my gialla about an year ago when knock-offs were nonexistent. looking back on it now, i could have saved 50% of the cost by waiting for the knockoffs coming out now but i just figure i paid for the exclusivity. when i look at the knockoff bumpers in person, the finish is at minimum 90-95% of the real thing... i say its worth the money

and i must say, your front bumper looks amazing.
but damn... seeing that one white evo with the cwest really made me wish i bought white instead of black. Black just... isnt as nice imo

You can check in this forums I sold 12 front bumper to member of this forums, perhaps you can ask around about my bumper.
YOUR bumper? Counterfeit money there is no different. Fake rolex there is no different. I don't care how many of your fakie fakie bumpers you've sold, you stole a design that does not belong to you and are making profit from it and now you are touting it as and accomplishment.

so the greed yes the greed
