RE Ameiya front end ?'s

i luv that front end but when i saw the price on that damn thing i nearly had a heart attack which would be crazy cause im only 17 but why is it so expensive i mean i can understand 900 since its a unique design and it comes with lights but nearly 2 grand! how on earth are the little people gonna afford this beautiful piece
also though i notice is as holes on both sides does anyone think a intake can be shoved right behind one hole and on the other side my a sort of air way into the engine bay for further cooling if so sweet but still 2 grand :'(

Im sure the importers jack the hell out of the price. Someone needs to do a copy of it over here in the states to cut down the price some.

Then the people who were going to buy it legitimately won't anymore. If there were a copy I'd definately go for another kit.

The old amenyia kit (see my sig) used factory lights. Looks better imo.
