Ever bought a part thinking it was real and found out it was a knock off after the fact?

What did you buy? Who was the seller?



Most of the time it's not a huge issue, unless it doesn't fit. Body kits, panels, etc that are knockoffs are typically the worst because they have horrible fitment, just a mold made of a mold with very little fitment testing.

This is why I don't buy off eBay unless I know the seller.
