Fake Veilside Fortune Kit's now.

While shopping for a Fortune kit I came upon: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Obviously a knock off and I bet the fit and finish is pretty poor. Please avoid buying knock-offs, especially ones that are 75% the cost of the original.

the fit may be a bit off, but even if its kind of close it wouldnt be a big deal. If you consider the amount of body work it takes to mold this type of kit on, it should be child's play for someone that is tackling this type of project to make it fit as long as its somewhat close.

Actually, Fortune replicas aren't new. There was a guy about a year or so ago installing on here on the forum. Never say any more updates on his project though...

Don't worry. I'll take care of it. (The Fortune RX7 holds a patent, by the way.)

They don't include the headlights, turn signals, wiring, turn signal bezels, emblems, lexan pieces for hatch and headlights. (I assume)

I know the replica the one guy on the forum bought about a year ago didn't as he was trying to figure out how to purchase the headlights separately.

That ebay listing is gone because I "took care of it".

There are no plans to discontinue the Fortune RX7 kit. It's a really good seller as a matter of fact. Things only usually get discontinued if there are problems (such as, a mold breaking or not being able to get certain parts)
**Fortune NSX is "discontinued" because VeilSide can't get the taillights anymore, BUT, if the customer chooses to, they can still buy the rest of the kit and figure out their own taillight situation.
