I don't think the Nismo is better, I only bought it because I hate the base car's fangs, and the touring edition non modular radio so you can't change it out. I just hate cars pretending to be something their not, they should just be their own thing instead of putting on replica ****.

I think youre making too big of a leap to say that installing a replica wing is one step away from putting on Nismo badges. I cant speak for everybody but Im just looking to personalize my car with a wing that I like. I happen to like the Nismo wing more than any other aftermarket product out there right now. In no way does a wing scream out to people "hey look Im driving a Nismo" especially considering this replica is slightly different than the actual Nismo spoiler. People within the Z community could immediately tell its not a Nismo, and people from outside the community wouldnt know the difference between the Nismo spoiler and the Amuse even. Stickers on the other hand Id have to agree with you, I think its tasteless (but I wouldnt go posting negative comments in other threads).
The other argument of course is with the concept of replicas in general. Little to no R&D to produce something that closely mirrors a product that somebody else spent the time and money to perfect. Supporting those companies is something I would also like to avoid, but in the case of Nissans Nismo parts, they are specially overpriced so I dont feel bad buying 1 replica part.

Kilbasa16 is right - the Nismo wing looks great.. and get over yourself if you think every one is just trying got look like the Nismo. I was going with Amuse all around and the CF Seibon NSM wing.. Yes it looks like the Nismo wing - but guess what, Nissan does not make a CF Nismo wing.. So Seibon does.. We are all NISSAN OWNERS!!! GET OVER YOURSELF!!! YIKES!!!

tabrams if you think I have some sort of Nismo ego, it is one you super impose on me. I never said Nismo was better than anyone else, what if I hated nismo, and I still hated the fact that someone is putting a replica nismo wing on? And as far as "[not] every one is just trying got look like the Nismo" seems inaccurate if I'm merely complaining purely about the replica wings, not amuse, and not that 'everyone' is allegedly doing it.
