another C-West kit question

I know this kit gets a lotta questions, but I was wondering if this is the C-West hammershark wing, because I've never really seen this wing a lot, and in fact this is the only good pic I have found of this wing. If it is, does any company make a fake of it? I dont really feel like dishing out 580 bucks for this wing, nor do I have the cash for the whole genuine kit. So my question really is, what company if any makes a solid fake that fits well, inclusive of the wing, and how much does it run?

That's the hammershark wing yes. If you want to buy a fake kit then buy a civic and fix it up with all the fake peices you want.

Don't do it to an RX7.

Well, I was asking how much a fake costs. Sorry I dont have cash flowing outta my ***. And I dont really have any concept of how well these things fit; fake, real, anything inbetween, or beyond. I want to know whats out there, what would be the best quality, (Im assuming the real thing) but if theres something very competitive to it as far as structural rigidity and durability, shape and fit, then why not save by spending nearly half as much???

So my question is, are the fakes really that bad??? from what you guys are saying, I guess they seem to be, or u simply have too much pride yourself in the fact that your car is better than any other car, and nothing but a genuine product will suffice. Generally with my product choices, I'm the same way. But this is a body kit man. Its gonna get scraped, get rock chips, and may even get messed up, because things can and do happen when a car gets driven. Hypothetically, say the fake and genuine kit have identical construction in every way. Are u telling me that you would still pay more just to have it made from C-west, or from Feed, or from any real company? This is my point. If u guys are such label ******, theres no reason to be laughin at me. Ill be laughing at you when u when I pay half as much for the exact same thing. Again, I have no idea if the fit of the fake ones are bad; chances are that they probably have their flaws, but this is PRECISELY why I asked the question. I wanted to know what was good, what to avoid, etc. I probably am going to actually go with the real thing, but I used to think it would never hurt to ask. I guess the response is to just get laughed at. But as you guys probably haven't noticed, parts for our cars can't just get paid for with chucky cheese video game tokens. A lot of the parts for an FD are rather expensive IMO, just a thought. So I say, why not play a video game that shells out more tickets for less of those tokens?

Someone who has had experience with this body kit, fake or genuine, please chime in here.
