Default Fake Vision Corners

What does everyone think of the fake Vision corners. I know they are fake and thats enough said right there but who all is putting money down for them?

Does it say Vision on them or are they just full amber?

i dont see a problem with these...its not like people that buy them are going for the vision name...just some amber corners...as long as they fit good i dont see a problem. i am noticing a price difference in a few kinds though...some i see for $120, some i see for $40...when i get my EG im going to look into them...

I've got a set of Vision corners.IMO you should buy the lookalikes. I wish i did.They look exactly the same as the real thing, except they don't say Vision ( which you can barely read anyway).

They are full amber but who can see it anyway unless they are 2 inches away from ur corner? I have the smoked Visions, but the amber one's are indentical. I had the amber Visions.

I seen both the fake and the real vision corners. The look damn near the same. Besides, visions in japan only cost around $20-40 anyways. Why spend $120.00.

is it me or do these imitations look a little different in color. jdm looks a little more red, these look a little lighter. it could just be the lighting though. you say you've seen both and look alike.. are these the same ones. no difference in color?

what i was specifically talking about was there seems to be a few different sets of knock-offs going around...theres the 100% copies, then theres the ones that are just amber with no "vision technica" stamp on them...theres a 70 dollar difference between the ones jdmhondaparts.com sells (which are still knockoffs), which sell for $120.00, and the ones that the pic was posted from at autodynamic.com (knockoffs) which sell at $49.95.

i bought a set of the TINTED amber real vision corners for 165, yeah i know thats a lot of money...and if i wanted just the amber corners i woulda only spent 45 on some fakes but i really really like the color of the TINTED amber, its phatty...so it was worth the money to me to get what i really wanted..i havent' seen a fake tinted one yet...

Yes, the fakes are better IMO because I've known a few people who have had theirs broken and it sucks because they are not cheap nor easy to replace.

it doesnt matter if you could afford it who cares...
people will complain about spending 800 for a valve cover... i know i used to do it too.... but then if you could afford it who cares....
it would be like saying someone is dumb to buy a car for 250,000 ... if they could afford it then its all good..
