Fibreglass rep's tend not to fit as snugly as oem stuff, and they'll also crack under conditions that the original will only bend.

So better off buying genuine m-tech..

What are they made of by the way?

Genuine stuff is made from a flexible plastic. It does have a name but i can't think of it right now.

replica ones are fibreglass, i got a tech 2 on the front and its taken a few knocks and it doesnt sit flush on the arches. Same goes with a lot of fibreglass bodykits, they never fit flush and they tend to crack very easily under light pressure.

fiberglass stuff is shiiiiteeee genuine stuff is made from a thermoset plastic which bends
