Default wings west knock offs?

is wings west a company that has a lot of knock offs? Do their spoilers all come in grey? I know TEIN has some fake springs out there.
Thanks

Well, Wings West does make replica body kits, but I wouldn't say the product quality is all that terrible. They do do a decent job making most of their products. Now, as far as their styling goes, I wouldn't like any of it, because it's just not for me. But, some people enjoy it, and they're not a terrible product to go with, if you're into that kind of stuff.

PS. The TEIN knock-off deal, was actually a bad thing. The company who knocked off the product, actually made the springs so poorly, that they were prone to failure. Watch out for those.

i think most of us on here arent really body kit fans, but wings west is a decent company known throughout the world. as for those tein springs... tein has an article on their page explaining the difference between their springs and the fake ones.

Well, with minor exception (Mugen CR-X body kit knock-off), everything Wings West produces is considered rice, that wing included.
