Default Most absurdly priced mods

So we all like modding. It can get expensive fast depending on your goal. I've completed most of the major things I've wanted to do in the 2+ years I've had the car. While I've been having fun shopping for small misc type stuff over winter I've come across some things whose prices are, to me anyway, just crazy. What's the most absurdly priced non-OEM item you've come across for your s2k? It doesn't have to be a major dollar mod, but something that made you go "huh?!" when you saw the price. Let's have the worst offenders!

I'll start. These are really nice license plate bolts. Titanium too. $65 per bolt. That's $130 to mount your plate in ASM style. Double that again if you want the front plate too. Can't help but laugh. No offense to anyone who has these as it looks like they're sold out.

Ya, let's not let this devolve into an authentic vs. replica thread. Let's just have some fun with the craziest prices out there. So far, I don't think anyone has topped the $65 ASM license plate bolt.

Most of the imported JDM products fall into this topic.

For example:

A single floor mat $400

It boggles the mind... its not even new.
