Default bB front emblem question...

I just bought a front bB emblem and was wondering... how light in weight is that supposed to be? It looks heavy, but this thing was super light. Just seeing if maybe it was a knock-off (I did get it in Walnut, lol).

Yeah, they're plastic, not metal, both the real and fake ones are lightweight and plastic.

Walnut's known for having a ton of counterfeit stuff being sold. To quote my friend from earlier...

"Hahaha... lemme guess, bought it off some asian kid? Check that s*** carefully. Everything out there in counterfeit."

And it was an Asian person... but a girl from Performance-R, which was at a Car Brokerage place, lol.

u sound really ignorant right now

1. its racist to think that all "asian kids" sell counterfeit parts
2. just because of where someone lives doesnt mean they're gonna scam u or sell u something fake
3. if u were so worried about it, then u woulda bought it somewhere that woulda met ur "standards" rather then coming on here and making a thread about it

This ignoramus racist trash doesn't know what he's talking about. He even have to quote his co-ignoramus to back his claim.

He maybe referring to the recent bust that took place in Walnut where millions of dollars in Nike and other name brand counterfeits were seized from a warehouse. As to who sells it----I think it is pretty non discriminatory.....

regardless...u cant base a whole city/race's character off one isolated inncodent, if he was so worried about the authenticity of his emblem...then maybe he should of bought it from somewhere that had a better reputation for selling parts, rather then coming on here and asking/complaining about it...

its his job as a consumer to research anything/anywhere that he plans to take his business to...i know it might seem im making this subject out to be worse then what it really is...but im just a lil bothered by ppl's ingorance these days

Walnut California, it's by LA

57% of the population is Asian, my wife wants to go to that area for shopping next week(She's Japanese). Where are some good places to go there for car stuff? I have no idea since I've never been there.

lol I knew this was coming. You're all idiots who think I'm racist.

I should've italicized "was" in the post about the Asian's, as that could have stopped any comments like the ones dumbass, err, duffman said and such.

and dpope, wow... you got me. Douche.

^ wtf? This all could of been eleviated if you wouldn't of said anything. He asked if the emblem is legit. That's all. And he said quoted from his FRIEND! To get back on topic, all of the bB emblems are plastic and lightweight.

At least you can get a bB emblem locally, to me that's amazing. I'm willing to bet there are 0 bB emblems for sale in my entire state right now.
