    Have you made carbon fiber parts yourself? I did and it'a a pain in the ass!
    Especially because that fuel door has too look good.
    I made functional parts before which didn't had to look good from the surface and even that took ages and was no Fun.
    It's made by hand and not just a machine who makes cf parts.

    Not putting miles on your (super)car is like having the hottest girlfriend, but not banging her very often because you want her to be tighter for her next boyfriend.

    I'm NOT saying it's easy to make but there's no reason why companies should price gouge. You trying to make carbon fiber parts is like "WATCHING" your girlfriend have sex with (Ron Jeremy) leave it to the people who have alot of experience!

    Thank for sticking up for us Turboman!

    Our parts are expensive, but we feel that we make the best parts in the business and we spend as much time as it takes to make our parts to the next level. It is always that last 5% that takes the most time, but makes our parts stand apart from the crowd. I like to compare it to a paint job on a car...you can spend $1,000 on a paint job, but to get a show car finish you will have to pay $10,000+.
    There is no "price gouging" going on here. We are just making cool parts that we think others will like as well. I can't afford my own parts, so I guess you could say that we aren't charging enough:-)
