I don't know how that particular bumper fits, but if it is made like all his other stuff it fits better than stock. Chuck aka rotaryextrerme, has the best replica kits on the market and most of the internet sites that sell replica kits get their kits from Chuck

Why dont you get the real thing??

Does anyone have pics of a hood from chuck? I in on the group buy for the scoot hood. Has anyone got there hood in yet? Since he has made at least a couple of the fiberglass ones. I still haven't seen a pic of the carbon fiber one, which is what I have ordered.

Because the real thing is almost 3 times the price of his Replicas. I could go racing with a replica, smash it to bits, and get another one, and I STILL wouldn't be paying what I payed for the original.

The reason they are so much is because of the shipping. The Feed bumper itself is about $1000 in Japan. The $500+ dollars added to it is all in the shipping and markup for the dealer selling it here. It doesn't pay for them to bring their operations here. The FD market here just isn't big enough. Even in Japan, they make the bumpers one by one.

Beyond that, I saw pics of the "original". It fit like crap.

Flybye

That's true, too.

Rotary Exteme is kinda like 3M... He doesn't make a lot ot the things he carries. He makes a lot of the things he carries.........better

Mr Rotary

I don't know how much this is going to help but here's a like to Chuck's website & pics of that feed bumper www.rotaryextreme.com/2ndgengb.html

I will never put on a replica on my car. I rather spend the money on the original piece than to spend money on someone who stole the design of the company.

user 84205

I agree with you 110%

Flybye

He doesn't make a lot ot the things he carries. He makes a lot of the things he carries.........better

and so, he did.

I didn't but a replica. I bought a superior product.

user 84205

Well if there was no FEED I just you wouldnt have any FAKE **** to put on your car...

lol, these replica debates crack me up...

So everyone who hates replicas, always purchases the one who made whatever it is first?

So, the first company to come up with toothpaste, that's the only manufacturer you buy? The first company to come out with soap, that's the only one you buy? The first company to come out with bottled water, you only by that one?

Same ideas, just taken and resold by someone else...

Now, if FEED or someone else is making a product that is only available in fiberglass, but someone else makes a replica available in carbon fiber, is that ok?

lol, people can complain all they want about replicas, but if I can put something on my car that cost 1/2 as much and looks/fits the same, I'm down for that.

It's not a big deal (to me at least) with products that are $300 USD or so. But the products that are $2000 (like the Scoot hood), please... If someone can make it and sell it for 1/2 the price, the original company is just charging overhead for the hell of it. Think about it, if the orignal price was lower it wouldn't be worth it to create the replica in the first place.

user 84205

Thats not the debate. If rotaryextreme or who ever is making these replicas, just came up with their own product and it was good, it would be ok. BUT they cant they have to copy someone. Its like a fake rolex, WHATS THE POINT>>>> If you dont care about real, why dont you give me your real money and I will give you back something that looks like really money, but DONT WORRY I will give you more of the fake stuff, then you gave me of the real stuff...

**** the bullshit, it all depends on how dep your pockets are! whatever you can afford to spend is what you spend. are you going to tell me that you'll be able to tell the difference (in chucks kits). and who cares anyway, do what you will to your car, its your car.

Chuck sells the originals too, if you want those.

lol, I don't know how it is over in Japan, but here in the states, EVERY consumer product has a cheaper alternative that is virtually the same. Body kits are the same thing, they are consumer products. You really think these companies are charging that amount for the R&D it took to design the product? Please, they are out to make money. They could easily sell the products for a MUCH cheaper price, and still make a profit but they choose not to and that's what leads to replicas. How is it that two people, who make the same fiberglass product, have two distinctive prices for their products? Fiberglass is fiberglass... I could see if the price differences weren't that different, but most of them are 50% or more.

Here in the states, even grocery shops carry brands called "Best Choice" which will be identical to some name brand but costs 2/3's the price.

You use the example of Rolex.... I would, no way in hell, pay that much for a watch. Same reason I would not pay the price for a REAL Scoot hood (not that I like the hood anyway) when I could get one exactly like it for 1/2 the price.

user 84205

My point is wouldnt you rather buy the real thing if it was only a little more>>>>???

See the prices you guys are getting for SCOOT, RE and all these companies are expensive. Im trying to find out if its really worth it to send them to the states.

So would you rather want the real or the fake?

1bad7

oh shut the hell up. if you dont like replicas then dont get em. personally i'd much rather spend less money and get a superior product

user 84205

Well **** stick, if you bought the real thing, maybe you wouldnt still be waiting for it...

Ok, let's say the Mazdaspeed hood.... You can pick up a replica for around $600 here (carbon fiber version, fiberglass would be cheaper of course), add shipping and we'll say that runs $100. So for $700, I can have the Maszdaspeed replica hood put to my door.

Most places here in the states carry the original for $1500-1700 depending on the place, and that's without shipping. Now, $700 shipped verses $1500 without shipping is a pretty good difference to me. At that price, I can have two for the price of one.

How much could you put one on someones door?

Nameless

Sorry, but a lot of times you have to wait for originals as well.
