The quality of the parts is night and day. The replica amuse kit I have fit perfect...so I thought until I applied the Authentic Zele kit. It seriously was bolt on (check my build thread) The difference in money will be spent on the replica to get it paint worthy.

Without spending and hour typing it up:
The replica feels weaker in all areas. I had to add my own fiberglass in key areas to strengthen it. The gel coat if that is even what it is, was so thin that when sanding some of the mold lines off it went all the way into the fiberglass. Inconsistent areas in the mold (high low spots) that may need to be filled to lay paint smooth. ETC!

The authentic was predrilled, sanded mold lines, and immediately felt more rigid. It is hard to explain but it definantly felt and looked expensive lol

From someone who has used both kinds of kits, take my word, save more for the real kit.
