Default CRAZY mod!

Sorry if this is a repost, but I was surfing around Bulletproof Automotive and found this CRAZYYYY mod for your S2000. Unfortunately, I think I need to save a little more until I can afford it ...

What are your thoughts? I think the front may be a little too agressive for me ...

A (much) more realistic price would be $5k. The carbon cost isn't anywhere close--they must be amortizing the tooling over, what, one car?

No one will ever buy this thing for $50,000.

Bad business idea.

You're probably right. And at that price, they'll sell maybe one. On the other hand, they'd probably have no probably selling 8-10 of them if they priced it at $5-8k. Why shoot yourself in the foot by pricing your product so absurdely high that no one will buy it, when you could probably make back some of your R&D costs by selling a few to the select consumers who would buy it at a "reasonable" price.
