The knob i was most surprised on to be honest. the tower bar is pricey, but extreme. Zele parts are of the highest quality and are aware it may not fit everyones buget, including mine in some areas. They strive to put the best part on the market they can, i beleive they do.
Its not a cheap setup? Thats more than $20,000 dollars... that's Carrera GT ceramic/carbon brakes territory. No one is going to buy that unless its for GT series racing..whats the point of offering a $20,000 dollar break package to the public? How about selling a $5,000 dollar one that they will sell more than 1 of. Thats all I'm saying. The tower bar is far from reasonable. The shift knob is not reasonable. There is always a market, no matter how small it may be. However, that is NOT how businesses make money. It is absolutely INSANE to think that this crap is going to fly with the current consumer sentiment..

The carbon bits are almost OK priced....about 50-100 over...

The sunline carbon stuff is way too much too. Thats how much full bumpers should cost, not lips. That front lip for example should be around 6-700 dollars at most.
