Agreed, in fact most of the installs here look tidier than the factory fits. Some really impresive work done. :cool:

Replica or not - how do you tell the difference? I just wanted a solid one rather than a bolt together one as I think they look better.

I would assume it was a replica by the amount I paid for it :D
