Exclamation Five Axis Design knock offs

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on some information i got recently surfing the internets and noticed a Five:AD kit branded as "Duraflex X-5", and "3d Carbon". I contacted Five:AD directly and inquired about the kit's that I saw, the told me that they are in fact direct "Copies" and are not authorized Five:AD body kit's.

It's a shame that other companies sometimes will not put in the effort to make their own original products, instead they wait for someone else to put in all the hours and blood, sweat, and tears to create a product. Instead they resort to pretty much stealing someone's design and just slapping their name on it.

Anyway just wanted to give a heads up to anyone looking to buy a Five:AD kit and to steer clear of these imposter body kits!

lol steer clear - people will be thanking you for telling them that there is a replica, but not so they can avoid it.

Incoming legit kit for $$$$$ vs cheap replica thread
