Are people really going to believe A&J if they come up with a response to the issue? That just leads to finger-pointing and that's why these threads never go anywhere.
I've been in the Honda scene for quite a while now and here are my two cents. I have seen many J's Racing products in person and online from various sources and many of the products under the same name or part number look very different from one another, and as 5Zigen pointed out earlier, the timing of everything in this case seems to be too much of a coincidence.
As far as I know, one of J's mechanics from Japan stayed and worked at A&J for quite a while and something like this surely would've caught his attention as he was in charge of shipping/receiving as well as parts installation. A&J also shipped at least one car (Fit?) overseas to J's Racing for their USDM product development, and that may be the reason why there are A&J edition parts floating around on the market.
Anyway, I'm not affiliated with A&J in any way and I'm just speculating like everyone else here. I'd like to know the real story behind this mess as well but I've been in the import scene long enough to know that we may never find out what really happened. I'd be pretty disappointed if A&J indeed sold counterfeit products as they've been in the tuner business long enough to know better than that.
