If It fits like shit it's fake.

that's a replica, not worth $250

maybe 180

also the tabs on the side that hold it on look broken

[artfunk007]

It's mine and it is fake best I can tell. (noted in the ad) It fits quite well for a DB car. The tabs are/were worthless. I used small screws to hold it to the bumper. As for price, you are more than willing to make an offer and I would rather sell it to a R3V member.

That is a fake, ACS is made from ABS plastic and that looks to be fiberglass from the back side.

Here is a real one:

See how the ACS is stamped into the bottom right? the one you linked on CL is fat and all wrong.

Did you happen to see what he posted? It is a rear, so why would I even mention the front?

I am not trying to get into an argument with you, but rather simply trying to inform the public that ABS does not always mean genuine ACS or Alpina.

just for kicks and giggles, were you aware that the front was made from fiberglass?

[F34R]

Yes, I was at one point trying building a ACS coupe back in 05. I was a bit younger back then and could not afford the front. Got lucky with getting the rear in a junk yard. I could never afford/source the front so I just gave up.

Currently I am trying to get the pieces for a front and rear MT1 for my euro bumpers.
