Lately the car has really been sluggish and I bet it's due to all of the drag created by the door handles ending so abruptly. I was considering selling the car. Are you telling me that for a measly $835 I can reduce the overall aerodynamic resistance and therefore keep driving the car??????? That's a MUCH cheaper solution!
Absolutly

Let's just say that they are reputable that you don't have to worry about not getting the part you ordered but the price you pay isn't paying for quick service.

OP get a better job...seriously.I would prefer Mines CF and Products over companies such as Seibon,Vis,Carbon Creations..ect. that are poor, if not sh*tt in quality.It's been said "you get what you pay for" "Cheap work isn't Good/Good work isn't Cheap".I am ashamed of how many Cheap A$$ Ricers in here come crying to Jim@Showstoppers for Replicas/KnockOffs, his sites just littered with all this crap.
But hey, it's a business right?Will people care when there are almost no new products coming out with proper R&D because no true innovating company(the ones getting knocked off) can find a way to make their money back?

the real reason is that the manufacturer can list it for whatever price they want. if you want it, you're going to have to pay for it. they have a product that we want, simple as that.

you all realize those are only list prices and that everything is negotiable. I bought my WALD kit from them, a blitz spoiler (before everyone had it) and an authentic Strosek kit through them. I will not complain about pricing. I listed my price and they met it. My first two purchases were outstanding. The strosek deal was complicated and the guy I was working with was terrible, and no longer works there. That said, in terms of pricing, they were more than fair... then factor in, they can get you just about anything for any car. I will continue to shop them when looking for aero parts
