Oh I read your post. Nowhere did you state that was in AUD. One would assume you mean NZD given that you were referring to the price in New Zealand.

because "ripping blind for the same shit", in your words, is what TMCA are doing with the aero kit.
I agree with you on the kit price, don't worry about that!

I'd rather pay cheaper for the car though, don't want the kit lol!

when it comes to stuff like that, you need to remember that we have a pretty decent way of life here in australia. while i don't agree with harvey norman and his bitching most times, he still needs to pay his staff so THEY can have a decent way of life...

I got back from a 7 night stay in thailand, while it was cool to get a billabong tshirt for $5, ray ban aviators for $3, thailand is a fucking ghetto. australia isn't.

That's BS and you know it. Rear tyres for my Lexus IS-F cost over $900 here, $300 from the states. Same tyre from Japan..... No counterfeit knock offs, the same fcuking tyre. That's just one random example....

it might not work in all cases, however I'm sure our minimum wage over here is leaps and bounds ahead of over in the states. and healthcare.

i get pissed off too with some things, but I'm sure its made up for elsewhere. in some cases at least

225/40/18 re050 - absolute minimum I can do it for is $651ea fitted. That's a shitload less than my RRP which is $823ea, which is lower than the retail price.
255/35/19 re050 - I can do for absolute minimum of $682ea fitted. My RRP for that is $864ea
there is an RE002 in the 255/35/19 which is as good, if not better. and cheaper. RRP $786. I can do absolute minimum of $621.00ea on these
