And they also replied, there will be no whole set 6 pcs discount. I.e. adding each to shopping cart.

car doesnt need any extra weight

86BRZ · 11-28-2012, 12:21 PM

How heavy are they? Adding 10 - 15 pounds for all 6 pcs? A valid point here for adding weight. I guess all come down to cosmetic most.

You might only save some shipping fee between buying all together and individually.

I really need to get out of the industry i am in and into automotive parts..

why work on 15% mark up when i can work on 500%!

Maybe the manufacturers have this markup, but I can assure you the retailers def do not have margins anywhere close to that.

People buy it considering how it looks. The investment needs to look good. The developers say this car is a blank canvas (it's lacking some things). To me, it looks lacking in stock form and needs aero enhancements to look complete. Doing it tastefully at the expense of a little weight is worth it. Especially when done with parts of OEM quality and function.

Arguably, this car doesn't need any extra power.

Yeah i would believe that, i work in wholesale, one of our main products the trade price is $90, we pay $40 at our bulk rate (ordering 2000+ at a time) and generally sell them at $46
We have bought them for one project at $26.. and know the maker can go even lower..
We make 15%, they get 50%+

What does it take to achieve precise fitment and quality equal to or greater than that of any other aftermarket company (sometimes even reliability at the expense of performance)? Resources. I'm no business major but the cost of development and tooling to manufacture an item should be factored into that 50%+. Considering the market will be flooded with competition, STI can't project high volume sales and initial investment needs to be recouped somehow. STI and TRD err towards quality over quantity. Their prices should somewhat reflect all of that.

Not sure why everyone is complaining about the prices...has anyone else taken a look at any of the other kits for either the BRZ and FRS?

If its too expensive don't buy it, its pretty simple lol.

I can afford it, I just think some of these products need to be put into perspective.

Two small parts, which i doub't would have taken that long to design in CAD, then put though a 3D printer and test fitted..

Millions of dollars there in R&D..

The company i work for design and make products, which are way more intricate and need a lot more R&D, using more expensive base materials, yet are a quarter of the price...

86BRZ · 11-28-2012, 05:48 PM

Sometime more expensive will make it more exclusive, so they are not on every other BRZ.
