Chinese Knockoff Products
I found this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tchlink:top:en I like TRD fender insert but they are too pricey.. ![]() The TRD inserts are around $600-$700, which is ridiculous. And these knockoffs are $88+$30=$118. I think they are made in Taiwan, China. Update1: These are atcually better. The carbon fiber one cost ¥1350+shipping fee, which is about $250. Others that made by different material are a lot cheaper. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=..._u=cljnljd78cf ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Update2: And there are a lot of interesting products that you cant find them in the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thes floor mat can be customized to any color. ![]() ![]() ![]() . Update3: ![]() Update4: This is like about $600 shipped to US. RHD only. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Update5: I post this in another thread before. armrest, about $ 50. Can be customized to any color. But it looks terrible. ![]() Update6: These emblems are about $15. ![]() About $13-14 http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm..._u=dljnljd73d9 ![]() ![]() ![]()

Probably fairly cheap on materials, it would be the time. maybe another 150 or more to get it done for these two? Wonder if @doggy would offer this service

I saw some DIY for CF surface online, but just dont want to do it myself. I knew for some bad clear coat or bad work, the surface will turn yellow or become rough in a few months. .

The OEM actually clip into the fenders. The replicas double side tape to your current inserts

These inserts do not actually need clip right? I think 3m tape will be enough..

I might ask my friend to bring a pair for me. This product is made in Taiwan, China. And it is for sale at taobao.com, which is a website that only sell products to China. Theres a way to find a intermediary to buy products from them. However, it wont be cheap unless you buy alot. You can wait I think. You might be able to see them on aliexpress.com in a few months probability. This is a website that sell Chinese products to worldwide. Might take less than a month to ship it. .
