I'm not so sure I'd throw Autokits-X in the 'AUTHENTIC' thread (despite the fact that the parts installed on that particular car are not necessarily replicas). I know they get a lot of love on this forum, but, simply, I do not respect the fact that I can see a number of JDM companies' designs on their website that they are ripping off by selling replica versions of their parts. On top of that, they actually use the legitimate companies' names - Veilside, Nismo, Impul, Chargespeed, Kenstyle, INGS+1, Top Secret, etc... They don't call them "TS- Style" or "V-Style." Someone, not knowing any better, might actually mistake them as authentic. Quite misleading.

But I do like Darryl's car. Lip, exhaust, tails...

I believe they were called out couple months ago, by a former g member, because they used weiboys picture without even asking... anyways, itll be great to see some new JDM parts we havent seen before, or people just topping one another! great post bill!

HKS USA went out of business so any HKS parts will be hard to obtain now, making them more rare, but any HKS distributor can still import any HKS inventory for you from japan. Definately holla at bill, he can get you some amzing JDM parts!

haha I know who's getting yours I'm mainly interested in it because I already own a couple of things from HKS and will probably be extending my list of HKS items in the forseable future.
