I am looking at buying a Techart wing for my '01. How will I know if it is a Techart or one of the imitations? Thanks for any help.

I've got several pieces all over the car and each one is marked - no wing though.

PM Arling...he will tell you where it is on the wing. Actually just buy it from Arling, he has excellent customer service and will provide genuine parts.

even imitations have the Techart numbers. why not fake it all the way right?

u should be able to tell the quality of the piece. if it's unpainted then much easier. if it's prepped/painted then u need sharper eyes to tell. usually look for the wave on the surface first.

You can tell fake ones from real ones by quality of the pieces. As Arling said, fake ones do have the TechArt logo along with the serial number. If the pieces are in the car, it'll be difficult to tell unless you pull them apart.

Thanks for the help guys. Arling, how much is the Techart wing? Is the Techart fiberglass or other material?

Perception is a concept for those fooled by reality.

you can always check if where you got the part from is an authorized dealer. www.cecwheels.com is the exclusive importer of Techart. Also quality for sure! If it is priced to good to be true, then it might be a fake. Hey, if you like it, who cares
