Snobby and douches? Really? For people wanting to support the folks that put their blood, sweat and tears into creating the kit? What if someone stole 100% of your creation, made it inferior, and started selling it for cheaper. Would you like that? Obviously not, but I apparently, that makes you a snobby douche. Besides, no one was ripping on the OP for considering buying a replica, including me. We were just telling him the reason for it being so cheap. Just a fair warning.

And that's the snobby reply I'm talking about. If I made a product that was obviously better, I wouldn't worry about knockoffs. Simple as that. I'd know my product is good enough that even if it does get ripped off, people will still want mine because it is that much better.

But hey,spend your own money however you want to.

Not being snobby at all. You're putting words in my mouth. Never did I say not to buy any kind of replica product. Never did I say that everyone should buy only authentic products. Never did I tell anyone how to spend their money. I was just defending the people that buy authentic parts because you generalized them as snobby douches. That is all.

If you take a minute and read the description

"Rocket Bunny Wide Bodykit from Sickspeed. Add a brand new look to an already amazing car.
Listing is for an UNFINISHED 12PC Rocket Bunny Body Kit
Material: Top quality fiber glass
Due to handcrafted product please accept minor adjustment with fitment.
Recommend professional body shop for installation!

Check out the manufacturer's website for more info and pics."

So either we have a replica and the only way to tell that it is is by the title or we have a ligit product I suppose the only way to find out would be to call either greddy and ask or call the seller and ask.

With that said if it is a replica and the terms "rocket bunny" are trademarked/copywrited they could get sued by greddy for trademark infringement and unauthorized use of their trademark.

If the kit does not come with the wing I could see it being that low if they are trying to liquidate them out to make room for the new ones. Other wise I would say this is a fake/replica in which case would need to be brought to the attention of the manufacturer to protect the brand, brand image, and potential issues customers could come into...

Just saying simply because you change the title or ad "style" or "like" or anything else and then keep the same descriptions does not mean you are getting away with anything. It is still a counterfeit at the end of the day.

But none the less if it is the real product then that is a hell of a deal, if it is not I would not take a chance on quality that is just me though.

Thanks for clarifying guys! Surprisingly, I didn't even notice the "STYLE" word in the listing title, thanks for pointing that out!

I'll still buy the official one anyways, i just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out on an amazing deal haha

Oh gosh here we go again. This has been discussed a million times before, if you don't mind cutting up your car for a replica kit then go ahead, your money, your pockets, your car, your decision. I am a supporter of genuine kits therefore I went with the genuine, it's a matter of choice, as long as you don't claim it's genuine when it's not, end of discussion.

Back to the topic, unfinished means unpainted and it will need some work as the fiber you will get will need some minor work to get it fully prepped for painting and installing. I've seen both kits, the differences are un-noticeable if done properly, otherwise, you can tell by the gaps and the feeling of your "gut" telling you it's not genuine if you've been around body kits a while.

The simple fact that RB twins are everywhere now makes me not care about whether it's genuine or not, just don't go claiming it's genuine when it's not and I'm not saying this to you OP, I'm saying this to anyone thinking of doing that.

I did contact the seller, but they haven't gotten back yet, apparently they're out of office until the next few days I think.
