Kit copy and real whats the difference? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tougemaster · 01-17-2008, 01:17 PM

Getting Uras for my hatch.. friend of mine owner a part shop and gave me both price on the Uras.

680 for Real Uras Type 4

350 for Copy Uras Type 4

both are made of fiberglass

If you had copy on your 240sx let me know your opinions

luckyslide16 · 01-17-2008, 01:20 PM

Spend the extra $$ and go with the real deal! You will wind up spending more money on paint and installation with the copy and the fit wont be as clean IMO.

MavericStephenc · 01-17-2008, 01:21 PM

the real kit is always better.

hands down but some"replica kits" do fit well, most need alot of work though

this has been covered alot so typing body kits or aero in the search bar should yield answers.

Brian · 01-17-2008, 01:21 PM

In this case..... and lately, my opinion is to go with REAL stuff.

maverick27 · 01-17-2008, 01:22 PM

Def Fitments! i bought an imitation Vertex for my hatch about a year ago and though it popped on it dint line up. my bro did the same for this car and it dint line up (he owns a kouki) in the end he bought the real deal and paid the extra bills but his car looked super clean.

Bobafreak · 01-17-2008, 01:23 PM

both still need work?...id rather get replica due to i lose it alot. But if your ballin...go for it.

azndoc · 01-17-2008, 01:33 PM

wow thats a really nice hook up on the real kit.

I would just get the real one then.

Fitment is better. I heard uras fitment is sex.

Frp is better and thicker.

Plus at that price its a really great deal.

EM_S13 · 01-17-2008, 01:34 PM

If you can afford it, go with the real deal. If you cant don't go cheap and get a replica. It will cost you just as much as a real one would have in the first place. Every body shop is going to do a little work on the bumpers and side skirts but why get replica's and have them bondo the Sh*t out of them and do twice the amount of work needed?

Real deal kit will also be a good quality fitments and possible JADE fiberglass, (cwest and Bomex along with a few other companies use ths fiberglass) compared to these MATT finished replica ones.

Just My .02 cents

Bobafreak · 01-17-2008, 01:34 PM

hmmm im thinkin price like that must be ait.

Are you sure it's real URAS?

Do you see the URAS labels inside the pieces?

tougemaster · 01-17-2008, 01:53 PM

Yes, he have the real one in stock.. and he ask if i want to save same green he can order some copy one for me

Vision Garage · 01-17-2008, 02:25 PM

if you are planning to hit cones and stuff and think you will probably destroy the kit drifting go with a knockoff.

tougemaster · 01-17-2008, 02:28 PM

The one im going to put the kit on will be my Daily so..

lost_generation · 01-17-2008, 02:28 PM

650 for real uras? holy shit, buy it

knock offs suck, trust me, never strait panels...fits shitty as hell

*NemeGuero* · 01-17-2008, 02:34 PM

Do it right or pay twice.

Irukandji · 01-17-2008, 02:35 PM

Real Stuff = Fits better, overall better quality, and you're supporting a company that DESIGNED it.

Fake Stuff = Fits like shit, quality is shit, and you're supporting Chinese thieves, the same ones who are also taking away American jobs, and putting lead paint in kids toys.

status:one · 01-17-2008, 02:43 PM

Most of them don't fit. Depending on the bodyshop, you'll end up paying more than you would to get them to fit than you would just buying the real thing and have it installed.

I would recommend ORIGIN and version select kits because with the two kits I have owned I have had excellent fitment (except one sideskirt) and the kits are inexpensive. As far as your URAS option goes... I would go with the real thing.

lol wow, you don't like Chinese people do you... And not all knockoffs are made in China... So buying a knockoff isn't killing the children.

Somewhere down the line, the low class is affected.

It might now be making the kits, but the other parts that make kits.

Same thing happens with the Orange Juice business in the USA.

Farms will hold immigrants by blackmale and have them work for free.

Live and learn.

thats the stupidest shit I heard ALL day.

My $200 BN Kits have always fit incredibly well. The actual pieces aren't shorter or smaller or warped or anything. I don't see what the big deal is with everyone bashing knockoffs, they rock.

mind sharing where you got a kit for $200?

BTW.
that really IS a great price on the authentic URAS aero..jump on the real deal at that price for sure!

Brian · 01-17-2008, 02:37 PM

i cant tell you how many body shop owners call me because they bought a fake kit for their customer.... then realize what a shitty decision that was and then end up ordering the real thing from me, which they admit over and over they should have done the first time.

azndoc · 01-17-2008, 02:48 PM

There is no such thing as fake Veilside kits BH.

It's all in your head.

Brian · 01-17-2008, 02:53 PM

haha, yeah you must be right.

Johny5 · 01-17-2008, 02:54 PM

my works9 knockoffs have been straight for quite some time, fit real good!

Sure you works9 kit is straight, but is the owner though?

Ohhhhh

SlideAlliance · 01-17-2008, 03:18 PM

I only buy knockoffs now. I used to have have real Version Select everything but it got WAY too expensive after the second kit.

Fiberglass work is extremely easy to do yourself if you look into it. Hell, my cheap BN knockoffs used to fit before I ripped them off and "fixed" them a few times.
