Conversely, it's completely unreasonable that some people have this elitist attitude that if your budget doesn't allow for the best, you aren't allowed to do any mods without being insulted. No matter how good they actually look or function, no matter how much work you put in to it.

Cola is a beverage, there are many cocals so it's not even the same recipe we're talking about.
Manufacturers spend money to design and in some rare cases test their products. By buying replicas you just support who stole their design. There's a huge difference.
Oh, it's completely reasonable to not want the cheaper stuff for your own.

It applies to anything that's property of a company. Designs are properties. Generic prescription drugs are regulated by laws so they are a moot point. Authorized art reprinters send a percentage of their revenue to the artist or owner. Another moot point.

If your budget doesn't allow for the best just stay stock. I can't afford a Zonda so what? I stick to what I can afford.

It's not what you say but how it's said. I've seen many people on here say "it's not my style, but if you like it." Why can't that just be said? Why does it have to go on calling someone a douche because they used a knock off part? Just think about it....

I guess this is kind of my fault for starting the argument. I personally never have made a crack at anyone on this forum for doing their own thing with their car (as much as I have wanted to). As I stated before, I like the OP's car, I think it looks awesome. I was just commenting on a post, and don't agree that the reps are as good as authentic most of the time, and that my friends, is fact, not opinion. It's a hard pill to swallow, and most people don't want to admit it, but there is a reason an Auto-bahn front costs upwards of $2k, just look at Jedi54's car, it's perfect. I have never seen a rep bumper look that good. If you can show it to me, than please feel free and post it.

I have to agree with some of the above posters in this thread...i would never put a cheap, replica piece on my car..ESPECIALLY if it was a body piece or wheel or w/e...you can always tell the difference imo..
BUT..i guess not everyone can afford the real stuff, so to each his own..

the Seibon ts hood(like what you have written in your sig) is a replica of the hood by Varis.

Seibon is not an industry leader, just a decent replica manufacturer. The main difference between their bonnets and the original varis ones is that Seibon uses a useless layer of cf over a fiberglass part. Varis vacuum forms dry carbon.
That's why seibon hoods are often heavier than our stock ones while Varis' actually shed some pounds.

3. This is not a flame war site, so please do not engage in such. No distinction will be made between the instigator and those who merely participate.
4. Personal attacks against other forum members will not be tolerated, nor will any type of "trolling" for a fight. This includes political attacks, slurs, or sneering at any viewpoint or political party.
5. No racist, homophobic, or misogynistic remarks, including derogatory slang, be it overt or covert, will be tolerated.
6. Be respectful. This is harder to define, but will be moderated. An example would be disrespecting RX-8 owners who chose an automatic transmission over a manual, and "sneering" at them or acting like they're idiots for the choice they made. If a moderator believes you are being purposefully disrespectful to a fellow member, you will be notified. Bashing for the sake of bashing will not be tolerated.

I'm in law school.
The mods can ban me if they wish, it's not like i give a damn.
Technically I only expressed my opinion anyway, the "instigators" were the members getting butthurt over them.

How is telling the truth being irrespectful?
Cheap replica parts are indeed what I called them. Cheap replica parts.
Crappy intake is again what I called it. A piece of junk.
Waste of internet space... true, we could all live without knowing of another rx8 being ruined.

That's why I used such words as CHEAP REPLICA PARTS and CRAPPY INTAKE.
That's the truth, now go argue with that.
#74
Oh, so now you're speaking for all of us? WE could ALL...as a law student I'm sure you'll quickly learn that you can't just say it like it is. I'm done with this argument. And yes I did ask about college. I deleted that due to the fact that I no longer felt it was a needed piece of information.
