And that definitely makes it ok. I was just trying to let everyone know because I think Autokits (and any vendor on here) are hard working enough not to have the it stuff ripped off

What Alex said. Just because it's not on myg37 doesn't mean it doesn't exist outside of this site.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't AUTOKITS-X sell a replica Top Secret front lip? They make money off someone else's hard work and design. Does that make them thieves, too?

Cool, thanks for the explanation. I'm surprised it didn't make its world premier here first.

Maybe a watermark on your photos might be in the future? It sucks to have your work counterfeited. Best of luck.

Go to their website and note the very first picture you see advertising the company name.

That's Solisimo's G and he got his TS bumper WAAAAAAY before Autokits ever existed. He was the original test car for all of Autokits stuff, that's why his car is all over the page

I understand that. I recognized the car, but I don't really know what that means... It's okay for Autokits to copy the Top Secret design but not okay for someone to copy theirs?

Autokits isnt copying anyone. Solisimo got the TS bumper separate from autokits, they had nothing to do with it. I don't see what him individually having the TS replica has to do with autokits

We don't make the Top Secret front lip or Body kit.
There are other companies making replicas but not Autokits.

Yes the Red car on the website has the TS front Lip molded and side skirts and why is there?? because we sponsored that car long time ago with diffuser and grille.

Yes!! now.. we are offering the TS and other parts for the G37 because we recieved alot of phone calls and e_mails asking for them.. these products are actually shipped out directly from the manufacture, in this case AIT.

I understand, guys. I'm not trying to start an argument here. I'm glad to hear that AUTOKITS is not making replicas, but that doesn't mean they are not profiting from them. I simply noticed Autokits-X was selling a Top Secret replica. I understand now that they are selling the AIT part. I assume they are making money every time someone buys one, no? So now two companies are being rewarded for another company's ingenuity and originality. It's nothing new. Replicas will always be around. That's part of the aftermarket parts world. I get that...

But could you not make the argument that AIT and, now, AUTOKITS-X, is as much of a "thief" as the eBay vendor selling the AUTOKITS-X fenders?
