$1000? You must be kidding. That lip probably costs $75 in materials, and $400 TOPS total cost.

One more thing....those saying "if you can afford the car, you can afford the parts...."
You guys probably have 0 savings in your bank accounts. The "wealthy" didn't get wealthy by pissing their money away. I'm on Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche forums, and believe me, not a single one of them would buy $1500 brake pads.

Awsome parts (as are those from Amuse and Zele). I like where those co's are going with the GTR.

As for the price, get over it folks. They'll price the products at what the market will bear and that market will bear a higher price, just like the market for our cars bears a higher price than that f Civics.

And NFRs2000NYC, you're making a lot of assumptions about people's financial state. What about someone who has (and continues to accrue) a good savings base and still manages to have a nice chunk of disposable income. That can't happen in your estimation huh?

It would be safe to assume that the price of aftermarket parts for the new NSX will be in this range as well...I'm sure these are typical reactions but people will mod no matter what the price is. Some people just never roll stock.
