A supercharger kit that costs 1/4 of what the car cost brand new.....what a joke.

That wasn't what I was getting at. There are other types of cars in the class of the Z that have aftermarket parts that cost half or less for the same quality.

We are paying aftermarket BMW parts prices for a damn Nissan, and its ignorant as hell. I can't believe this community is gullible enough to pay 1500$ for some bent steel or 500$ for a slightly curved 2 foot section of steel, etc. We are being robbed blind, and the worst part is that all of you are ok with it.

This is not a Mustang, there are not 10k sold every month.
Supply & demand, there is not much aftermarket demand for the Z so companies must increase prices for them to get a return on investment.

There are as many fI kit makers as there are for the mustangs, there are as many or more exhaust makers, as many or more suspension makers, as many or more wheel makers.....see the trend?

Prices are set by what the market bares, which means whatever we, the customer, are willing to pay....and obviously we are willing to pay extortion and these companies know that.

Just because we have the same amount of companies making products does not mean they are selling the same volume as other cars.
Remember, only a small percent of owners will mod a car so when less cars are so a smaller aftermarket is created.

You should quit paying exhorbant prices for parts, therefore they come down.

Problem solved.
