Genuine Stuff Rocks

[BigFas]

After helping Durgesh a few weeks ago installing his genuine ACS pedals, seeing how they compared to my replicas, in short, the replicas sucked. So after being unhappy for a few weeks I decided to splash out and install the genuine article today. The difference is night and day and I'm not on a mission to only buy genuine from now on. I only have 1 other replica item, m3 mirrors, and I'm getting rid of those for some OEM m3 or ACS ones within the next couple of weeks.

BTW, how in the hell do you scew in the lower right screw / bolt in the accelerator? In the replicas I just glued a bolt in place

Like those originals Fas, definately look an improvement on the replica's.

Much better bro! Huge difference in price, does the same thing but IMHO worth every penny if you're into attention to detail ;)

Got something OEM from Aachen too for my ride :p ....installed today :D :D :D

that looks well smart bro well done!

It might be the brand names that's doing the trick but guys...those factories who makes replicas are also OEM factories making genuine articles and ship shit loads of them to Germany on a daily basis...the material, design, and everything are IDENTICAL...I have personally seen the order sheets from ACS and Alpina, Hamann and the the like back home when I went to visit one of my dad's friends' factory...basically they make all OEM stuff and ship them worldwide...say they are asked to make 10k piceses and they make 20k pcs instead, what happens to the other 10k pcs? I'll leave you guys to think... ;)

Regarding that screw I had my friend who has the tiniest fingers/hands to helped me out...she is 5 years old if anyone is wondering...lol :D
