However, the end part of your comment misses the point. I don't buy parts for other's visual enjoyment, I do it for mine! There are nice lips out there, no doubt, but I enjoy the idea of supporting Vorsteiner because I do genuinely like their product. I'm sure a replica of this will eventually come up, but if I'm spending $1k or so on a replica piece, then I feel it's worth it to pony up a bit more money for guaranteed fitment (even if there were issues, I know Vorsteiner would support the product) and the happiness that comes from knowing I'm supporting Vorsteiner and their future endeavours/R&D by not buying a replica/knockoff. The M performance knockoffs are understandable as supporting BMW in that sense is different, but I personally couldn't buy a knockoff of a Vorsteiner lip, or an RSC lip, or 3d designs for that reason alone. If everyone bought replicas and never the original, then these companies wouldn't feel justified in dumping the time/effort/money into creating these products.

Small rant, but just my .02 cents.
