ralliart grilles on ebay...are they legit?

What's up all? First, I'm not sure which forum this should go in, so I'll just stick it here. Has anyone personally bought or know someone who has bought a ralliart grille on ebay from the place that is offering them for $149.99 shipped? I want to order one, but I'm afraid this is another deal like the ebay brembos. Thanks for any info.

EJEvo they are not really knock offs. They are not in the Ralliart catalog but it is from a Ralliart Lancer also called Lancer Cedia. It was only available as a wagon too. So, if you can buy from the dealer then it is real. Especially the ones that are factory match painted. Any body part that is produced and can be bought from Mitsu directly is real.

On the link you provided, click on Lancer/Lancer Wagon/ Lancer Cedia/Lancer Cedia Wagon and you will see the picture of the red wagon with the grill exactly as shown by BlackLancer2k. Or maybe Mitsu has a fake Ralliart grill on their car?

heres a quick link:

BTW, that red wagon also has the much desired "RALLIART FRONT BUMPER" that people on the boards here in US have been trying to get but has proven to be cost innefective. Somewhere in the Neighborhood of $1200 including shipping.

BUT WAIT! Its not in the ralliart catalog so its fake.... forget about it... the whole freakin car must be fake too cause none of those parts are in the catalog including the fog lights, ATTN: MItsubishi has stooped so low that is has just made a fake Ralliart... how can you fake one of your own products?

Ok, so the part is shown on a JDM car but is not offered as a standalone part in their catalog. I'll give that one to you.

Bring your almighty powers to bear on the price aspect. When genuine JDM Ralliart mudflaps are going for $400, and if we assume you are correct in that the bumper is going for $1200, how do you explain the price of $149 for a part that should be priced between those 2 items?

I got mine for $200 dont care either who the hell made it or where, my only beef was that you called it fake just because it was not in the catalog.. but good job on owning up on that one and you are right, 140 seems low. Taiwan seems right or wherever it is that plastic and labor is $0.01 an a hour.

OT, unbelievable but true - Did you guys know that Honda is suing some chinese company for making a knock off of the 2002 and up CRV? I've seen pictures and its a dead ringer, its called the SRV
