Doubt it. There was group buys like 2 years ago.

Check ebay or possibly rhdjapan tho i idk if its orig jdm thats been copied or not. And then theres always just tinting it with the design.

Pretty sure Kevin M made replicas of the Gains, but the supplier screwed up. Being the stand-up guy he was, he refunded the money and then when they unexpectedly came in, he gave folks the chance to buy them...

that's probably the set you have, SRZMK3...

I've wanted a set of Gains Silhouette since I first acquired my car.. I have a set of the Kevin M. covers, but they are nowhere close to the real thing IMO. As stated, there was issues, and I was able to pick up one of the last ones.

I wish they would be replicated because I also had the Hiros, and they didn't work for me (aesthetically speaking).

If you want your car to look good and the wheels/tires to fill the space you need to roll your fenders and at least have the top of fender be at level with top of tire. Little lower looks better. Little higher sucks but more user friendly.
