Main issue with you is you seem to lack focus and spend on all kinds of stuff that can probably buy a second Z or a higher performance car. That's a much bigger waste of money to me.

but it is entertaining to watch how your car transforms.

I don't feel like commenting on your intelligence at all.

I love doing what I'm doing specially when the jobs are sponsored

Kinda bothers me when people describe replicas as 'fake', I see it as paying for what you think is worth..

Kenchan made some valid points on supporting the originals, but he did made an example of the stillen kit and the fitment issue. But I do have to agree with docaam and the others when it comes to comparing replica KITS and performance parts.

why would MOST people prefer JDM over reps? i would assume its cause of bragging rights.. the comparison between the quality of original vs rep (same material or better, better fitment and cheaper to replace) and the thought of more and more new kits are coming out is a good enough reason for me to choose the rep over the original.

exhaust/performance parts/wheels should be the original, but kits, i can do without.

No, I think you missed the point. I have not "wasted" (your words) any money on any of my original JDM bits. Your comments say originals are a waste. I don't think so...especially if you want this industry to keep going. I was just flipping the coin on you to show wat others feel about modding a car...especially one that drives well in stock form.

Your sponsorship explains why you make such comments but I know you have original installs on your car too from looking at the picts. My comments are unbiased from sponsorship. I'm just stating wat I feel about fakes and comments against 'wasting money buying the originals,' that's all. To me redoing things over and over is a big waste of time so watching you do wat you love trial and error is fun. I think you and your sponsors put in a lot of effort into your car.
