originals will fail too. My mate drives a calais. Original spoiler. Already can see it start to wear out. Friend has an integra with a replica kit. Not quite sure the exact year (possibly late 90s as im not familiar with that model), replica kit looks good as new. So it just depends on where the kit was made. Not all replica kits will fail.
So far i have front grille and spoiler as replicas. grille ive had for about 1 year. Still looks the mint. Spoiler only a few months. So maybe ill see if its any good in 3+ years time.

Shimian- I'm not going to have another pointless debate with you on genuine vs. replica. If you want to save money by buying replica Mugen pedals and Mugen replica interior mirror covers, go ahead. These items are unlikely to matter if worn out (well the pedals might have issues if they lose grip) but it's not like people can really see them. Of course some parts, using a replica doesn't matter, and as you also mentioned, it depends on where the replica was made. Furthermore, like all things, even genuine items can have QC issues.

Sure. I don't think I'll be doing any more changes to the appearance of my FD anytime soon so it's all good. All I need now is a car wash! Note, I moved to Pyrmont for weekdays but I'll be back in the Hills on weekends. PM me when you and FallenAngel are free. Jo_E also lives in our area.

everything can have problems, genuine or replica. but personally i find more satisfaction out of carrying a real gucci handbag rather than a fake from paddy's market. quality may be an issue but in the end no matter how much they look/feel the same, genuine always makes me personally feel the best. so when it comes to cars, its the same. i would rather pay 3k+ for genuine TE37's than pay 1k for replica. but then again i can be a bit of a brand whore =p.
