I'm not saying I don't like my chrome tailgate garnish. It's just that I could have used the $120 difference towards other mods. Now that the knock-off exists when I spent the $150 for the original, I kind of feel ripped-off.

As far as OEM parts go, I definitely think that the Rumion blue mirrors I bought were totally worth the price I paid, considering how much I benefited from them and the world of difference it makes while driving.

Aesthetics are less important to me because I'd rather put that money towards performance mods, like a sway bar, rotors, etc. I definitely won't buy knock-off springs or anything like that, but chrome garnishes? Sure, why not?

If they made a knock-off of the knock-off Shark Fin Antenna, I probably would have bought that. lol

Exactly! I have the knock off chrome door handles and they look just as good as the real things, and WAAAAAY less the price!

Don't know if I'd like the mirror covers on mine though. They look good on your white.

Been having mine on for almost 2 weeks now. Love it! Deff gives the rear end a completely different look.

^^^ Even if you are going to enter a car show, most people do not know what the hell they are looking at anyway. I am probably going to pick one of these up this winter and throw it on in the spring with the rest of the things I am picking up along the way....
