I doubt it. I've been a member a long time, but haven't heard of anyone making a replica yet.

NO One.. Even if someone planned on duplicating the kit, GP Sports will sue the company. A shop in the States atempted to copy their GP kit for the s13 and GP sports took them to court.

but plenty of companies make "replicas" or copies... i mean corksport's bumper is a copy of the border bumper, fc2000 is a copy of the re ameya (sp?) one, etc.

FC2000 is the proper name of RE Amemiya's design.

Rotary Extreme makes the knockoff.

No, and I'm glad. It keeps the kits more rare for those that got them. A year ago when they were available, they could be had for not much more than a bomex or Erbuni kit, and from all that I've heard they are much better quality as well.

Of course now that someone did copy it, the ability for the rest of us to get the kit is nearly impossible since they aren't imported anymore.

I'd like to shake that man's hand

The GP Sports kit can be ordered through the US distributor.

I really don't think that anyone would make a copy of the GP Sports kit. Why? Because the pricing for GP Sports products are really cheap compared to say...RE-Amemiya, FEED, etc. Because the pricing is so competitive, there really isn't much of a profit margin to be made.

you can copy any design as long as you change it by 10%. So instead of having a round hole in the front you have a square. Or vise versa. You would have to be a complete dumb **** to get busted on some day one ****. GP sports couldn't do anything once you have changed it

did they close their online shop or something? i tried to look it up on theire website, but it said it was no longer operational, ie, no longer taking orders? i really like that kit and was hoping to find one myself.

best "body kit" is an s5 conversion if you're an s4, or staying s5 if ur s5 and then either the TII ground effects or maybe some aftermarket lip like demonspeed
