Hmm...well for the spoiler, it has the FEEd logo in white on the middle bar..whereas as the replica doesn't. A good way to tell too is price. ^_^

word, if it's too cheap to be true then it's probably a replica.

does it fit? if so it's probably real. If it doesn't and costs you as much labor at the body shop as the original would have cost just to make it look decent, then it's probably a replica.

FEED products are exceptional quality. Unfortunately, for most of their products with the exception of maybe the rear wing and door handels, they dont come stamped with the name, so the best way to tell is by the fit. If you have gaps, or the stuff is not that sturdy, it most likely is not the real deal.

and like stated above.....if you bought FEED products your *** will definately hurt after you get the bill!

most of the parts on my car are authentic feed. the new feed II type R front i got had a feed stamp on the inside part of the front bumper, to show its authenticity. i got hooked up with it and still ended up dishing 2g's + .

for the authentic feed CF spoiler, you know its authentic if the carbon fiber clearcoat wears easily (a problem with mine and other first generation wings, don't know if they fixed em by now)

i also have the authentic feed passenger headlight, fenders, (soon to be) shift boot, and door handles. as RE-A said, the fitment is great, but the prices are quite nasty. if you're going to consider getting a few parts (fenders, wing), i would recommend you get them from rotaryextreme, as with parts like the wing, they made improvements. rotaryextreme is where my FEED sideskirts came from, and other than the similar but somewhat different carbon fiber weave, they're basically the same.

and no, my *** doesn't hurt, but my wallet sure does .

i'm continuing the entire feed replication (of the current feed machine in japan) down to the actual color of that car that the previous owner aspired to do i believe, and i'm almost done
