When you guys complain about parts not existing....

are you just venting or would you actually pay for it if it were designed and manufactured?
let's say i have access to a plastics manufacturing/molding plant and would like to know the pure numbers part of the scenario.

what kind of parts would you like to see made, or more specifically which parts has the largest demand so the cost isn't ridiculous? and honestly let me know how much you would pay for whatever part there is the largest lack of that you want.

i want to know if there are enough members in this online community to have something like this happen.

I'd pay $500 for the Sportivo Kit if that's reasonable.

How am I really low balling? have you seen the ground effect kit for the gen5? Its nothing more than just 2 side skirts and 4 corner pieces. The oem kits sell on ebay for $575, so I don't really see the reason to pay anything more than $300 for them.

I would be willing to pay for a kit similar to whoever pshoped this one. With slightly different foglights and less aggressive side skirts. I would spend around $900 unpainted.

Well there you go. $575 is a steel anyway. Stop being so cheap. $300 is not even a practical price.
