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.
Theoretically speaking if I didn't just buy plain black/grey packs of Hanes shirts?
Yea... If I want a Volcom shirt, I'm gonna get a Volcom shirt... Not a cheap imitation... But thats the matter of a few bux...
We're referring to car parts which is a whole different ball game... Same principle but on a larger, grander scale...

right. i look at it like this, when i was caring about clothing when i was in high school and what not, if you didn't have "fresh gear" branded up you got joked, or not taken seriously, there were always a few select kids that got away with it, but most didn't. it goes the same way for the vw scene, if there is a car i see with fake RS' or whatever i automatically write it off, IDK if it has a shaved bay with fully redone interior. ADD has taken over and i don't even know what the fuck i'm saying anymore, i'm pretty sure i've made my point and i'm just typing this for no apparent reason.
I agree knock-off or replica's bug me just for the simple fact that the company's R&D department was too lazy to be creative to come up with their own unique idea.

shit.
Your point has been made... Unlike certain people on this site you don't have to explain it to me 20 different ways for me to get it...
But yet again, unlike anything it also has to do w/ budget... I dunno bout ya'll but I intend on rockin some 15x7 DRWs... For 87 bux and 14lbs a piece steelies... I see no problem...

i mean its what 2009. Designing something unique nowadays is hard, and if it is unique its more than likely ugly.
