For many people who do not like or do not have the skill to wrench on their own car this will be a huge plus. The convenience and engineering that goes into producing such a total package is why it will be very expensive.

They do not need to sell many of them in order to make it legal for their race car. They just have to have them available for purchase by the public. I am just guessing here like everyone else but I think that those that think the kit will sell for 3-4K are the same people who thought the FR-S would sell for 21K.
I totally disagree. There will be better made, better crafted, more quality, better tuning, and generally better thought out kits than TRD. TRD is just a basic S/C kit. I'm not talking about power solely here, I'm talking about quality and engineering.
