it is shame because its going to get to the point that these parts wont be avail at all anymore. and then you will go from complaining about $200 eyelids to complaining that no one makes parts at all. If you cant afford $200 eyelids you shouldnt be driving a $40k+ car. simple as that. you think people but carrera gt's or enzo's then complain when they have to spend 30k+ for an exhaust. no because they knew what they were getting into from the get go. If you want cheap prices drive an SRT-4 or sentra. This whole produce knock off BS is exactly that BS. you people are never happy. and your ruining the game for us who appreciate the hard work these companies put into their parts. Dont believe this is the case. Call bulletproof automotive and ask them how many companies have no only dropped plans of producing parts for the G37 in general because of knock off's and counterfeits but ask them how many companies are toying with the idea of completely cutting off the US market as a whole for importing parts.
I wish the all the JDM companies would stop importing... then we could avoid bull**** like this...

then you could send your jdm wheels back also. it effects everyone. and the debate is not over just eyelids. its over companies knocking off other companies designs. find some american company to come up with their own design for these cars and charge cheap prices. It wont happen. why because R&D cost too much. they would rather sit back on their lazy asses and knock other companies designs off

So we should not be allowed to buy japanese cars either? only american? you cant have everything one way. I would not be happy with an american only market as american quality is far sub par compared to the japanese. thats a a fact. especially talking about the after market tuning world

I'm not saying just the eyelids. I am saying in general. People complained non stop that nothing was being made by companies and making claims i.e. injen threads that they would easily spend $700+ for intakes. but then when these products come out most of those same people are quick to bitch about the price and want everything knocked off. this isnt a neon or sentra. it cost big money ro have quality big name parts. simple as that

they do have patents. but they only apply in japan. if something is knocked off in japan your *** is nailed to a wall by the big power house tuners which is why it doesnt happen. and because people over their respect the hard work and r&d put into making parts. its like art over there. here we are lazy ****s who just want the easiest way to make a quick dollar. if it means ****ing over everyone so be it. thats always been the american mentality.

I do R&D for a few companies based in Japan and take their word over international importing shop (Bulletproof).

Completely wrong, tuners aren't making a large amount of parts for two reasons; sales numbers for our car are low here and in Japan,(why rush to build parts if they feel they have no market). And secondly they are waiting on the 370Z so they don't have to engineer two separate sets of parts when they can just make small tweaks and use them on both cars if they share high similarities. Nissans holding out on all of the final specs so their personally holding tuners up. (Guess their sitting on their a**es lazy like us Americans)

Yes I know BP, their a great place. I was speaking of performance parts, those will flood in once the 370Z information is out.
Are body kits a big seller for our car? maybe it has something to do with the G35, I don't recall seeing many full kitted G35's here in So Cal, from what I've personally seen the majority of G35 owners would do lips and hoods, I can't say I've seen a large number with full body kits and wide body kits.
But I do support your arguement of people waiting around for knock-offs, that's not good either, but you have to admit $200 for those little eyelid pieces is kind of funny.
