I don't get the mentality of people thinking that anybody that makes a part after one is already produced is "copying" it. The OP hasn't said that he is making an exact replica. It sounds to me like he is designing an "alternative". Read the title of the thread. Do you think anybody that designs anything for this car first looks at the OEM part or OEM dimensions? If they didn't, that would be damn scary.
Did Cusco copy the OEM diff cover? Do you think they looked at the dimensions of the OEM diff cover? Those bastards.
Look at all the exhaust manufacturers on the market. There are many that are almost exactly the same. Are they copying each other? Is that OK because it is an exhaust? If you don't like people making parts that are similar (even if they are an exact freaking copy) then don't buy it. I know alot of companies don't like hearing this that do R&D, but it's inevitable. Competition just happens in capitalism. Sorry.
