Its the same way subaru will charge you $800 dollars for a non functioning rear diffuser that is just plastic when you can buy one for $60. The name and price does not always equal better specially with purely aesthetic parts. And why are you taking 3k off the scion? They have that no haggle pure price thing so you don't pay higher or lower. But nice wheels and aero you can get for alittle over 1k, the aero wont say TRD on the inside, but I can assure you there is no difference in quality.
I think you were missing my point (I myself have some cheap E bay areo to put on). I am saying that making a clone of or something that "looks as good as" a special edition car with separate parts does not make it the special edition car. The price of them reflects that they are all real and official. This is not a debate on if you can make a car look good through inexpensive parts but whether the Release Series is worth the extra money for what it has. It is for what you get.
