Message but mine is not?

For a customer or shop who tries to order direct from KTS (and they will not sell the Z32 coilovers direct through my agreement with them for the development), here are the expenses involved:

wire transfer and exchange rate fees (since KTS does not take credit cards), typically a flat fee ~$20 + 5% on the exhange rate (since the exchange rate people like to quote is the inter-bank exchange rate for very high amount transactions, not available direct to consumers)

Shipping ~$300

Import duties (3.5%)

No tech support

and finally, no warranty -- snap a stud overtorquing it? Pay for the stud and shipping from Japan.

So how much is a customer really saving? My pricing is entirely reasonable.

I've never said anything about your pricing on the bumpers, I am in the business and I know the price is cheaper now because Nissan is importing the bumpers, it would cost a private enterprise alot more to import the bumpers. But your post is both rude and inconsiderate to another business.
