I technically have the Garage HRS front fenders not the Voltex Version rdwngs44 has but Garage HRS is part of the same company as Voltex so same quality I love the color and and everything of the Red Evo just not the molded in voltex look

 

Its fairly easy to spot the fakes... With Voltex everything fits like stock. The overall finish is perfectly straight with no waves, dips, or inconsistent lines around the edges.

All of the vents are also perfectly placed and sized to offer more efficient cooling and airflow around the points that need it most. The knockoff's obviously overlook that one lol.






Replica:


Real Deal:

 

Ironic, given that the rear overfenders don't follow the lines of the body whatsoever

 

Were talking quality of production, not styling flaws. Many people don't like the way the Rear Fenders curve at the end. This has nothing to do with the current topic of Fake vs. Real Voltex items.

No irony there .

 

Replica looks better IMO. Looks more clean cut when compared to the "Real Deal".

 

I think part of the clean cut look of the replica there is in the fact that it has been moulded in, so there isn't any gap to distract your eyes.

 

Heh, I know what you were referring to, but I just couldn't help myself :P

 

besides looks, the voltex is wind tunnel tested and can fit extra wide wheels so that is the biggest advantage, the fake you can still put wide wheels i'm assuming but mainly for looks IMO

 

i'm sorry...but i could have sworn that the voltex front fenders do NOT look so stock as the 'real deal' i thought they also have a gap at where the door meets the fender...thats what i seen from the CYBER-EVO car....this one its really flush....kinda not interested in the fenders after seeing this...

 

it looks very aggressive when it flares out alittle where the door and fender meet....

 

i never thought there were so many voltex puritans out there.

I think the originals do definately look better than the replica's on my evo, especially the larger side vents. I agree that the way both the original and replica fenders curve at the rear end looks a bit lame, especially in comparison to the front fender which is well integrated.

i don't know who made the replicas on my evo, it was an import from Japan and i bought it as is. I don't particularly like the rear fender nor the side skirt, and if (or when) the rear fender cracks i may take it and the side skirt off, and just keep the front fender. Nonetheless, until that happens i'm smitten with my evo....i ****ing luv it.

cheers
b.e.g

 

Here are the Voltex Fronts. The ones in the previous post are the Garage HRS Fenders. The flared portion of the fender (where it meets the door) is actually closed off on the production unit.

 

I love my Voltex fenders!

 

Not to burst your bubble, but those are Chargespeed Front Fenders (if you weren't aware):

 

Haha, sweet... No big deal, I feel a little stupid, but thats what I get for buying stuff second hand.
