Mostly All these parts come from China, So I don't get what your saying, some of the company's you praise have parts coming from China? Does that mean they are poor quality too? Its not the fact something comes from China, Its the fact that the company sels it for 300 so obviously it will not be quality, where its made has nothing to do with it.

Body kits you see in the $300-$400 range are copies of existing styles that have been available over a longer period of time (examples would be Blitz, Buddy Club, Drift etc.

We carry kits in this range for many cars. Because the tC is a new vehicle and we have had to spend our own money to develop and design new products we have to sell at a higher price. After the car has been out for a few years and development costs are covered prices will come down and new parts will come out to fill the higher price points.

We will be doing some white class kits for the tC later in the year that will start out at $499 and then drop after a year or so as the market saturates.
