Re: rear diffusers
Call me crazy, but I honestly don't think it's a bad deal even at MSRP. It IS just two pieces of plastic, but it DOES truly transform the look of the rear, in a tasteful fashion, and once installed, they blend with the OEM bumper and even look like a factory option.
If you think $200 is a rip-off, try buying parts from Hamann, Wald, AC Schnitzer, Saleen, etc.
Finally, you have to take into consideration the demand of the parts (There aren't too many Crossfires on the road to begin with; only a small fraction buy the diffusers) and the tooling costs must be passed onto the customer.
This isn't a garish, in-your-face Honda body kit that will be tooled/molded ONCE and sold globally hundreds of thousands of times (think Mugen).
It's a tasteful, OEM looking application for a tasteful, beautiful vehicle. Makes sense to me. The fact that an owner of such a fine auto would gripe about such a thrifty modification indicates to me that the car is out of the owner's class to begin with. No offense...
A hack job might save you $75, but...
why?!?!
