A leader in the design and manufacture of aftermarket performance parts, Verus Engineering has built a reputation for excellence. When you’re good at what you do, people want to imitate you. Regrettably, it has come to our attention that knockoff or counterfeit components have surfaced online. See how to avoid them and why you should only buy genuine Verus parts.
Why You Must Avoid Knockoff Performance Parts
Verus uses advanced CFD software and follows an iterative process to craft exceptional parts.
Verus understands the promise of lower-priced parts is tempting. But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. What you get from a knockoff product won’t be very good. If you are serious about improving performance, you need to stick with the genuine article. Here’s why:
- Show vs. Substance. Knockoff components may look like the real deal, but they often use inferior materials and lack durability.
- Product development: Verus follows a meticulous, iterative approach involving 3D scanning, CFD analysis, and real-world testing to produce some of the best aftermarket performance parts in the world. Knockoffs mimic these components but do not follow our high production standards.
- Safety. In addition to low quality and poor performance, inferior materials and manufacturing processes pose significant safety risks.
If you want quality, durability, safety, and exceptional performance, stick with Verus. Our parts are made from leading materials like carbon polyweave, fit like OEM, and, most importantly, perform.
How To Spot A Fake
Verus team members work on their popular jack pucks. These machined parts are some of the most replicated components.
Did you find an incredible deal on a third-party marketplace? Think again, as it could be counterfeit. Here are some ways you can spot a fake:
- Pricing. If the price is drastically lower than what you find at the Verus shop or from authorized dealers, it’s likely a counterfeit. Sure, we occasionally run discounts on blemished products, but if you see something that looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Packaging. Verus ships parts with sturdy packaging to effectively protect components. Be cautious if your part comes in a flimsy box with questionable or missing company branding.
- Materials. Counterfeits typically use substandard materials. You will likely find weight discrepancies, poor finishing, and improper fitment.
- Parts. Check the part itself. Company branding should be evident; make sure it’s not missing, misaligned, or poorly stamped.
The best way to protect yourself from a knockoff is to buy directly from Verus. If you use an authorized dealer, ask for verification and confirm the part number on the box matches the one on the part. Here are some of the great companies that sell Verus parts.
Nobody Builds Like Verus
Verus Engineering performance parts like this V1X wing look incredible, but the real benefit is experienced on the track.
Our parts are aesthetically pleasing, but that’s secondary to performance. Our wings, diffusers, splitters, and various other components are developed through CFD software, 3D scanning, track testing, and sound engineering principles. After all, we are engineers first and foremost.
Admittedly, the process can be painstaking. There are countless hours of design, analysis, and testing. Sometimes we wish products could be released sooner, but we’ll never put something on the market that isn’t ready. The FA24 oil pan is a prime example. We’ve spent years developing and fine-tuning this component, and after countless iterations, we've finally released an initial offering.
Verus Engineering recently released the much-anticipated GR86 oil pan.
