My point is, to each their own... people get too worked up over how good/bad/expensive/cheap a product is.
Plus, I am one of the "old school" guys that support legit, original vendors. I don't give my money to vendors or manufacturers that make copies of an original design, copyright or not.

Basically what burr said. I agree with you 100%! Sorry, I should have included that these "knockoffs" are pretty much the exact quality as OEM. That's really my gripe. I know there will always be cheaper parts and I prefer quality, so I'll pay more. However, paying $800 (or $500) for a part that others are paying $100 or less for to have the same QUALITY is a unique frustration. That's all I was getting at.
My car is full of genuine parts. Mostly OEM GT-86 interior. My exterior knockoff will be STI-replica wheels, but that's because they're in a size and offset that Subaru doesn't offer.
I appreciate your input, though, and didn't mean to knock your purchase of the diffuser. I'm glad you paid less than I did! hahaha
