Well my 02cents about this is that everything comes from something and there always will be a copy of it so for ie replica bumpers so i think that let ppl do what they like n thas it... I hope that made sense

Do as I do, make your own parts, and install train horns on your car. No one copied me yet.

True but, imitation is a lesser form of an exact copy.

There is a guy in my town with a black lancer, wheels, bodykit, the works. It looks like a F&F Evo, but it is probably his passion and I bet he would be just as heartbroken if something happen to it as I would be if something happened to my baby.

...But I do usually park next to him.

It only bothers me when the kid in high school with a lancer and a wannabe Evo kit thinks his car is as fast as my Evo... Good times... "I could totally beat Jake, if his car was full and mine was empty" Two weeks later he blew his engine with too much NOS

Otherwise, I don't care, just as long as they know it still isn't an Evo, and doesn't even compare.

if it bothers you that much, just got slaughter them at "the track" once or twice and you will feel better about yourself...making their car look a certain way isnt a problem, but I think I know what you are talking about here....they buy a wing and a bodykit, then think it IS an Evo...thats a different story and it does **** me off

No problem with that. It can look like it, but never be it. Not everyone can afford an evo.

It really doesn't bother me too much. I do get confused about it though. Like the other day when I saw an old 90s fast track celica with an evo wing. I also saw an RSX with an evo wing last week. It just doesn't look right on other cars.
