I can totally agree with the driftxx.
Purchasing legit Japanese parts is commendable.
With all of these copy cat company's
Coming out with imitation parts, a lot of posers want to play with out paying.
This is exactly why greddy BKed, HKS and others left the USA. This is a expensive hobby there is no way around this. People are harping on the look of these cars, But remember this is the guy who is buying the shit a lot of you haters cannot. So the next time you put a TRD sticker, Greddy or Rays enginnering emblem our you cars, remember it's this guy and 10-15% of others on this site who actually keep those company's going so you can do that.
That's just it though, isn't it? You don't have to pay for the overpriced parts to play. Most people drift on Rotas or similar wheels. As most have seen from the intake dyno comparisons, the cheaper stuff sometimes performs much better than the "name brand" equivalents.

People are entitled to put whatever parts on their car from whatever brand they choose. That does not make them a poser. It means they wanted whatever part and they got it cheaper somewhere else. Welcome to a competitive market.
