Message Unless you been living under a rock, its common sense that anyone who is willing to spend some money in a business investment, can EASILY buy name brand and non name brand parts that come off the same assembly line which I'm going to simply call it "raw parts" (usually from china). You can pay a little more to have your personal logo on the part + box or you cannot pay that premium and just buy the item generic without logos that will come in a generic no name box/packaging. Its business people, get with the program.

The majority of the parts are NOT knock offs as they come from the same manufacturing wearhouse. A knock off is someone on the street corner or a kiosi in a mall or a mom and pop shop selling fake/counterfit prada/coach bags, fake nike shoes, etc ALL BEARING THE ORIGINAL DESIGNER LOGO and calling it prada, coach, nike. Thats a knock off and illegal and why places get raided. e.g. Coz buying these "raw parts" (assuming he got them from china or wherever 300degree's manufacture; assuming the manufacture allowed coz to buy the "raw parts") then selling them as 300degree kits is illegal and wrong. That part I dont agree with.

But if Coz simply would have sold them as his own, I dont have an issue with that. Z1, AMS, Specialty Z, all sell identical parts as their own. Call it knock offs or whatever, I call it raw material. Its cheaper for some company to buy the raw product from the manufacture then to buy it from the distributor such as MS or Stillen, etc. Profit margin is better! Its business, you in general as the consumer are still getting a pretty damn good product sometimes at a cost savings. But instead you will always have these nazis on here complaining about knock offs and how they rather pay more to save the "future development of new products in fear of being copied".
