most of the stuff on aliexpress is the copy. some copies are good, but most I have found are not good. The reason all the big companies charge more is to cover the R&D and mold cost. Not to say they own every mold or they aren't reselling anything but China is very good at copying, not as good as being original.

For example, Autoteknic and AutoID both have the corsa or csl style g87 grill in carbon. I dont see anyone out with that right now. But give it a few months and I am sure china will be right on it copying then all the resellers, etc. putting all the companies in a pool as buying from china/AliExpress is naive. but its good to check it from time to time. what is the premium worth? well the market decides, but im not going to let $50 be what causes me to risk buying poor quality from a knockoff vendor
