Are these things Chinese knock-offs of a real Z-Art, or are Chinese Z-Art the real thing?

Well..."Chinese" is obviously used in both of your questions. As far as I know, the Z-Art Tops are now being produced in China instead of South Africa, with minor improvements. Don't expect German built quality, sadly! I replaced some parts/screws/hinges/Brake lights etc. with new Porsche or OEM parts...that doesn't cost a fortune. But I will try the supplied gaslifts
