Sorry if i sound really aggressive but it just makes me mad to see this I just dont see where they are getting this price point from. If anyone can give my view a 180 then it is a different story.
I'm curious what you think machining two of these out of billet aluminum should cost based on just parts and labor based on your expert opinion. Feel free to itemize.
