I am real curious as to why....

Try telling the GTR guys how overpriced 370z parts are. They are paying $3500 for a stainless catback and $5000+ for a Ti Catback. Keep in mind that the GTR catbacks don't come with a midpipe. The midpipes are another $700-$900.

Granted I am a vendor, but I do not feel 370z parts are overpriced. I believe the majority on these boards would agree they are priced just like any other import car parts.

truth and they dont even want to know about aero parts

i think the price of 370 stuff is comprable to the begining of the 350 aftermarket with an adjustment for new tech and advancements in the industry. now some of the more elite stuff like ZELE is high but on average i think its about par for the course for a 30-35K car

I know it will never happen but I'd love to see the margins on certain products.

It's honestly all over the place. The higher quality parts take more R & D and require more expensive parts. This in turn usually raises the cost to the vendors and furthermore to the customer. A lot of parts there is not much margin on. However other parts it's crazy. I obviously can't disclose which parts have which margins, etc.

Yeah, I understand that for sure. I kind of have an idea on what the margins would be like. Being in finance I just really, really want to know for certain though.
