A very precise description on how good fog lights should work, and why they shouldn't be used in normal visibility conditions.
You clearly know your stuff.
- Mine does none of these things, though. Maybe I should try to get some USDM fog lights. Should be an easy swap :-)

if you surprised by the increase for small changes, imagine if they made a higher performance version.

Well TBH ... If they introduce something like a Turbo FRS , you should be adding $$$ to the base model which is $25K not to special edition cars which have additional equipment ( Climate control,leather seats,DRL and stuff like Springs,Aero kit like in RS1).

I mean think about it , a fully decked out Mustang V6 comes close to the price of V8.

I seem to recall many, many people saying the exact same thing about the RS1. There were even hate threads about how much they were charging for the "factory rice banana" yet people still bought them.
These will sell just as well even at that price. Just a different target group that is all.

I know people will buy them @Tcoat.
My point is your not getting a lot of extra parts for your money this car should be priced more like a 10 Series in my opinion.

Didn't you buy your RS1 at that price?

EDIT: Caught your post. I see your point, but I still would not pay that much for a simple bodykit.

Above a 10 I would say. There are the rims, lip, spoiler, special interior (not a cheap option even on the JDM ones that already had it available) plus the stuff the 10 has. The interior and the rims alone probably come close to the value of the springs and exhaust on the RS1. I don't think the price is out of line since there are a lot more extras then first looks would indicate.
