Clearly, you don't care...You just pretty much summed everything up I was saying...Posers out there trying to get "the look" are the ones who are driving the counterfeit business in the first place...How many times have you seen Hondas with unpainted kits and cracked front bumpers?...Okay, now picture a few years from now when these people are going to be able to afford used Evos...I don't understand why said posers, (including yourself?), would want to get the look on a car that isn't used for it's intended design...Unfortunately, you are correct: nothing I say can/will ever stop counterfeit products...I thought that people who cared about which parts they were buying were memebers of this forum, I apologize: I was CLEARLY mistaken.

Apology accepted, not everyone is rich around here buddy. I may be a poser or whatever you say I might be but my car sure does looks good and I could care less what others think if the market is there then why not take advantage of it. Go ahead and throw your money away to those companies claiming its take 6+ months to make a product when in the USA it only takes a couple of weeks. To me they use that and low staff to keep prices high = More profit!!! which is a bunch of bull**** to me. Go ahead and keep supporting THEIR tactics/high prices. I bet if you boycott their high prices then they would lower their prices meaning more people would be able to afford the real thing

We have been bringing in Voltex by the truck loads... Literally. You can even ask Nakajima-san of Voltex Japan. Currently we have been supplying their parts to dozens of dealers across the country. To my knowledge no companies are currently replicating the Voltex Aero parts (aside from NRG).

But to clear up all the confusion with Invision and the "so-called" fake diffusers, its all b-s. The diffusers they have for sale are 100% real, same goes for 201 Motorsports, and all the others currently retailing these parts on EvoM. For future reference, you will not see Invision selling any fake Voltex parts.

To anyone looking to buy any Voltex Aero products, and are unsure of its authenticity, please request that the dealer provides photos of the authenticity stamp which is applied to all Voltex Aero parts.

I agree, this clown didn't even buy the product, it was his "friend" yet he goes on giving Invision a bad name claiming they sell fakes as reals

i'm confused...did the vendor try to sell this as an original voltex part? If he didn't then you cant be that disappointed if you paid hundres less than the real thing and it doesn't fit 100% you get what you pay for in most cases. It doesn't look all that bad from the pictures though

Hey evo ippo if you wanna spend a S*** load of money on your car then that's your problem, if we wanna spend little money and make our car look just as good as your JDM car then that's our problem. You're just buying the name which there is nothing wrong with that, again that is your problem. But if we wanna rock replicas then its all good, it none of your business just like its none of yours to hate on people who rock them or sell them. They also gotta feed their families somehow. Not everyone buys Voltex or the high end products so they cannot only rely only on high end product sales to keep their business open

i think this post is worthless, it's totally off topic, invison didn't sell the fake one as real, period. What more do you need to say, it's just that there's a company made a voltex replica and so? If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you are rich enough then go find a lawer and do whatever you want with NRG.

this thread is hilarious... evo ippo look at the mess you made you got so many people confused here on this thread. ok everyone.. pretty much from the looks of it the real voltex product will have a stamp on the inside saying its voltex. the nrg product will have carbon fiber as it wraps around on the inner side. if we compare it side by side i think it will be easy to tell which one is which.

So i'll add some wood to this fire. For this particular part in question (and this is to both the OP and you):

a) Do either of you have the "real" version of this part on your car?
b) Do either of you use it for its intended purpose (i.e hardcore top flight road racing/time attack)?
c) Out of all the mods that either of you have on your car, do you use all of them for their real intended purpose, and to their full potential?

The answers to c will be particularly interesting I should think.
