yes. and sometimes those oem/real lips are more than $200. (genuine sti limited frp lips are close to $400, my high quality poly replica was $200 and fits perfectly).

even for fake shit, the amount of money spent is reflected in its quality.

I can agree w/ this but I've seen some good stuff come off of ebay... But I will agree that 3/4 of the stuff on ebay is absolute garbage... Trust me when I say I know what the good stuff is... As its been said, the price is reflective of the quality...

I do however disagree that you're not paying for a name... Mugen? Come on... You can't tell me that their stuff is that much higher grade than other manufacturers when its probably made in the same place... That goes for a lot of other companies too...

Take clothing for example. you seem like a pretty hip dude, whatever you wear would you rather have a volcom shirt or a walmart shirt that has a similar volcom diamond on it?

not nessicarily volcom, just an example.

maybe if some of you can just keep a car for more then 6 months you woulden't have this issue <3
wait, Jessie as in, El Gran Rodeo Jesse?? and i ONLY agree with your Original statement in the sense of not putting a real deal cap or sticker on a fake. otherwise, im goin to buy what i like that i can afford...
