The brake kit is basically a brembo racing spec full monoblock setup. It is NOT a cheap setup. Of course not many will purchase this item as most will only want it for racing purposes. Other than the brakes, knob, and tower bar, all of the other items are reasonable market prices for Japanese made carbon and titanium bits. 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.

So what do you think you can do on the price for the sunline carbon fiber lip? I think $1150 is high considering veilside and cwest charge less than half that amount. Any sales coming up or maybe a group buy?

Both Veilside and C west lips are typically, FRP not carbon. I dont know the details on the Sunline yet, but saw it in person in Tokyo. Looks to be of good quality.

+1 Veilside and C-West are becoming common names here in the US. They are going to make a product that is priced to sell, but still has good quality. Sunline's lip; you are paying for exclusivity and quality.

azn370z · 01-27-2009, 02:51 AM

Interesting that sunline used cwest's body kit for their z33. You can see sunline copied cwest's design. I believe a carbon fiber cwest lip cost about $400.

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.

LOL @ those prices, that's ridiculous like everyone said, and on top of that the entire kit is FPR... WTF?!? This is not any different from Top Secret making FPR lip kits for the G37 at $3000 for the entire kit, hardly anyone will buy it, yet everyone wants it... in PU !

Another reason these JDM manufacturer's price there kits so high is to prevent copying. Your paying for exclusivity. Veilside is a prime example with there Fortune Kits. You have to purchase the entire kit. No one piece can be ordered individually. One price... One Part#

I'm ordering the entire kit regardless...

GT Motoring · 01-28-2009, 01:23 AM

Well i said before that their parts arent for everyones budget, especially those looking for taiwan CF quality and seibon knock off prices. Zele took the time and money to develop their parts from scratch so of course theyll want to turn a profit. I havent seen too many kits out there that were original designs ( not replica ) that are cheap unless the quality is aweful.

Since some mentioned c-west, here is an example of there z33 aero kit pricing to compare:
-N1 front bumper (FRP) $840 USD
-long nose bumper (FRP) $900 USD
-side skirts (FRP) $520 USD
-rear bumper (FRP) $740 USD

total FRP kit price, not including any options: 2100-2160

Im assuming the Zele aero kit will be more than this as it currently is due to have some carbon parts on the front and rear. From our experiences with their GTR aero parts so far, ALL of them have been spot on fitment.

370Ztune · 01-28-2009, 01:54 PM

JDM pricing is always the debate, but I think it's because the average consumer interested in these products doesn't understand the costs of engineering quality as good as an Amuse product, Zele, Sunline, MCR, etc.

The R&D alone can be absurd but factor in simple business economics... let's say a part takes $30,000 for R&D and making a mold to produce the parts. On a 350Z the market might allow sales of 100 units to make back the production costs and make some profit. With a smaller market like the 370Z or G37, total unit sales might be only 30-40% of the volume of the older Z, simply there are less cars and less people modifying right now. If only 30-40% of the volume is there, there is simply no way to recoup the investment cost unless each piece is more expensive. Just simple economics really.

Take for example the GT-R, or even GT3 Porsche, tuning parts are limited editions because the audience is so small compared to other cars people often compare pricing to (Z/G, S2000, EVO, etc). It's a very hard comparison to make. This probably deserves a separate blog post because the topic comes up a lot. Just my two cents!
