I feel you re: the ripoff, but in a non-confrontational way, one of the things some us like about things being priced so high that they're basically rip-offs is that it keeps the parts unique...it keeps us from having to worry that everyone and their grandmothers is gonna have what we've paid so much for. Ya feel me?~Ramy
PS: I think you forgot the "K" after the $15

Yes forgot the K. It pissed me off that someone is going to call me cheap because i think its a ripoff for some plastic that someone can copy easily. I understand being unique, but paying $2000 for lights? They are by far the best kit IMO for the FD and i would love to get some, but for that price i would get a bigger turbo.

i think these are great points being made, I was too afraid of posting a thread on rare items, but of sick of this ****. Their are only a few parts left that shineauto or rotary extreme or so and so hasn’t replicated. I couldn’t imagine paying over 2k for the burn out kit and only being one of very few in the country to have it, than a replica is made and now it is almost as popular as the feed kit, same thing goes with the feed front bumper. Some **** just needs to be left alone and all hell will break loose if they make a replica of the hood that rammy is getting for me.

There is a downside with rare and expensive parts. If you car parts are worth double or tripple the value of the car and all the peices are bolt on or easily transferable then you will allways have to be worried about theft (Se la vie). I understand both sides. Look at the '99+ wing. Since it wasn't stock for the US everyone wanted it. In Japan they prefered aftermarket. If it was readily available then people wouldn't be so excited over it. There are fiberglass replicas now. I consider that a cheap replica but some people only care about looks. I should have bought the light kit last year but my engine was more of a priority. I personaly would prefer a carbon cover and amber for the high beam but the kit unique of any car, not just the FD and that's what makes it so attractive. I do feel for it not being replicated if it's available but if it's discontinued as so claimed then it should be replicated just as Run Racing should be before there are none left to copy.

Yes those, they are also tight and unique not just to the RX7 but any car. I love the RX7 specific companies. It will be a shame if they get damaged and you can not replace them. What's worse is to think after the handful left get destroyed, no one will ever see it again. The Run would be perfect for the Hella 90mm and maybe the Piaa angel eye for the high beam. Seeing duplicate stuff on other RX7's doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as seeing it on another make of car. Supra's and how many other cars have the Scoot hood. There are only what three or fout company's exclusive to rotary's? RE-A is an excellent company but just like the Scoot, the hood (which I have) is available for many cars. Moreover, if you can improve the product that would be great. Like the Feed wing should have been updated with the wave in the carbon center.
