not gonna lie, they did a good job! If the pannels are crappy and thin, thats one thing, but just the look of it isnt too bad at all. I like EVO's rear skins tapering around the factory fenders better though.

I love spectating rigs too not just the race... I saw it from a distance and went over because it looked very similar to my rig. I should have gotten more up close pics. Dang it. The carrier itself is pretty good though a bit wide, the joins actually align just a hair wider than the body. I can't imagine why someone would copy it like that angle for angle. It had to of cost more to fab than buy off the shelve.

Often imitated, never duplicated. Yup

I appreciate people with skills to build things they dream up. I don't appreciate people making knock offs. Actually, I despise people who copy a marketed product. IMHO...they suck donkey dicks.
Be creative yourself, or pay someone else for their creativity, but don't rip people off.
This "knock off" sucks and so does the person who made it. It doesn't even have adjustable ends.

Looks like someones home project to me.
Why would they do it? Probably have all the tools in their garage or shop and it would be a fun project.
If I had all the required tools in my garage and enough free time I would make one myself. That being said, I would probably make something that cant be bought off the shelf, like a SS or Al version. Never going to happen as I cant tig for shit, but maybe someday haha.

I completely agree with you Sharkey! If you're going to make your own things really make them your OWN, don't copy someone else's design!!

They would never copy anything from ORE. Lol.
We saw a similar looking but even worse copy on a Mojave trip.

I saw the thread title and automatically thought of the rig for. The Mojave trip, classic. And the guy had the paper thin armor with lines and corners that didn't match up. :cheesy:

I'm with you on this Chris, for a homemade job, if it is, it looks pretty damn good:yup:I'd rather have an EVO but my budget doesn't permit it:grayno:

If the guys actually made it himself then I commend him. But I think he should have made his own touch on the design. I've noticed EVO tire carriers on line that look very similar before.

The reality is that there are only so many designs that look good. The stinger like look is aesthetic and natural.

Pretty sure that's an unbranded EVO carrier not a knockoff.
