I am so happy!
I understand where you are coming from!
I am the kind of person if I put a cloned part on my car I would feel bad. So yes I would if needed save up and buy a real TS front lip from TS Japan.
It took me 9 months before I started do anything to my car because I wanted to get the thing's I most wanted for my car. I wanted to make sure it was all done right in order.
Some may call me a fool but at lest I have real parts on my car and not cloned parts.

This thread is humorous to me for a few different reasons... 
OP, I am not hopping on the band wagon of people ripping you. I can actually see from where you're coming with some of your points. I don't know if I necessarily agree with all your sentiments (or how you have laid them on the table), but, unfortunately, the issues you disagree with are the reality of modifying cars.
It does appear as though your opinion of this has changed since you created this thread, though. No? In that thread are you not inquiring about exactly what you express a profound displeasure with here?
And you mention in that thread buying, as an alternative, a "TS lip." Just out of curiosity, would you have purchased an authentic Top Secret lip or would you buy a cheap replica version of it as many others on here seem to do? I only ask because I feel like the argument could certainly be made by those members who have chosen to buy authentic parts that seeing "everyone and their grandmother" as you put it, faking the funk and cheaping out on parts might rub them the wrong way, too...
Just my $.02.
As a sidenote, I respect the fact that the OP has taken all this criticism like a good sport. Unless I have missed something, I don't think he has become hostile or rude in any of his responses to some of the heat he has endured.

Always loved the I have the "REAL" parts and you have the "Fake" parts. You know that almost everything we have is a "fake" some on some level? What makes it real.?
I know some people actually cope it to a T but everything is similar no? You Fi Exhaust uses or was using Magnaflow parts( Not knocking FI Tony is GREAT) just saying.
My Exhaust looks like the Amuse but is a true duel and not a single like the Amuse. Heck ARK looks an ALOT like HKS??
Just because you spent 10x more on parts cause you bought them from Japan, doesn't mean you car is any better than mine or someone else, does it,, HMMM I really don thjnk think so....
I agree on that!
