anDru - I highly doubt you have ever tried to import high quality expensive Japanese parts from Japan, so you really dont know what your talking about.
As an example like Sewid said, I would and will happily pay $2k for a genuine East Bear carbon bonnet from Powerplay. These bonnets in particular cost over $1000 AUD to buy in Japan, shipping is very expensive, then there is GST, import duty and all the other costs associated with legitimately importing parts in Australia.
You pay for what you get, one day you might figure that out.
If you want to pay $500 for some cheap ass flimsy fibreglass bar for your GTT go right ahead Nobody here will loose any sleep over it.
