I agree that works for some parts but not for something like an oil cap.

No one wants to buy expensive, well made parts if they don't know whether they're paying for poor quality fakes instead.. Once you ruin consumer confidence its over.

Chinese knock-offs are not limited to aftermarket performance parts, they are widespread in every manufacturing industry. The problem is that their society does not have a concept of intellectual property so they believe that it is ok to copy something and sell it as the real thing. Many companies are going to great lengths to capture the Chinese market while still keeping their intellectual property and trade-secrets a secret.

Re: Trust/Greddy announce bankruptcy

I guess Im just a bit jealous of japan. They can seriously mod the shit out of their cars for a fraction of the cost we have to ensue. I honestly do NOT want a $5000 greddy turbo kit. I know it is quality, but FUCK. I would rather peice together my own and suffer through trial and error getting it right.
