Genuine TechArt?

My buddy is looking at a 996 turbo with a body kit that looks like techart. Any way to tell if it's techart or not?

From what I understand, the replica Techart typically is made of rigid fibreglass unlike the Techart which is made of polyeurethane. Will know as soon as my Techart kit arrives on the 20th and will confirm this as I have a few friends with replica stuff and can do a direct comparison then.

This is not correct...even the real TechArt is not polyurethane (as the stock bumper is). Mine had TechArt stamped on it.
