Any differences in look between "Hamann-style" vs. "Genuine"...?

Question for all those out there using Hamann-style and/or Genuine.

What the differences are between a "Hamann-style" rear diffuser and an actual Hamann...?

Do they look different? If you saw it on a car (same color), other than the name badge, could you tell them apart?

The reason they called it "Hamann Style" is because it is a replica. They are about 99.8% identical. Depends on the manufacturer, some may have different material, different quality. Most of the replica parts are made in Taiwan or China. I would suggest getting ones made in Taiwan.

From my past experience with Hamann, even real they aren't made that well. I'd go with a good replica and save a few bucks.
