I'm sorry $179 for 5" of plastic with holes in it is not worth it, but people like you buying will keep the price nice and inflated!!
~ I added this as well. Looks great with a pop of color.Broke down and finally bought this. Now that it's in, the price IS worth it!
The wheels and stance are perfect imo. Question though: Why a taller sidewall for the front tires?HKS HIPERMAX springs on default setting with usual supra spec 19s 9.5 +25 and 10.5 +35 tires 265 35 & 305 30
it adds another layer of depth. I really like it. Worth it.
While I agree in principle that the nature of a lot of these parts for our cars are expensive for the level of value they actually provide...the reality is low volume custom parts are expensive to develop, have made and shipped, and then the person who created wants to turn a profit (and deserves it). So while the "real looking fake vents" for $179 might really run $40 if there were 100,000 units being sold per year, there are probably considerably less than 1,000 sets that will be sold ever of these. It likely wouldn't make financial sense to sell the same product even at $139 (now maybe it would but there is literally no competition). The same principle likely applies to the exhausts that cost $2.5k on our car when roughly the same thing runs $1.5k on another car. Don't get me wrong I would love to be paying more reasonable amounts for the bits and pieces but I also appreciate the fact I have an uncommon car where I rarely see another on the road.
That engine cover :OInstalled an OLM CF engine cover, and painted the factory strut braces.
On the way to the track this weekend aaaaaaaaandd half of my skid plate just ripped off and sheared while driving on the interstate and the rest started flapping around. I had to make a pitstop at a harbor freight on the way to grab some tools to remove it. I remembered seeing your post and just went to look to buy the Turner one but it's not for sale anywhere that I can find. I did find a replacement OEM one on ebay so I'll have to settle with that for now.Turner skid plate and new diff fluid check. Not that I plan to off road but… some track run off areas are worse than others. And poor @Jesse DaBears. I’ll be emailing him, remember me, lol. I actually need a tune down ?. See if we can find one I can run all day on track in schweaty Florida. I will say my current custom street map 6 is insanely fun & fast!
Sorry to hear brother ? It can definitely wear down when you’re driving for fun. We’ve had to replace them on other cars, so when I found out they made an improved one and it was so cheap, it was a no brainer. I’d reach out to Turner and asking them if they’ll be getting/making more.
Partnering with BMW was brilliant and exactly why my track consumables are cheaper than the Vette or Porsche. I can get pads, rotors, tires at a much lower price than those guys. So yes, odds and ends that don’t sell as much are more expensive. But it also works the other way around. It’s not as cheap as my MX5 but I’d never would have thought the Supra would be as affordable as it is to track ?
