Seriously?

Yea, we all love the JDM tyte yO! shit, but do you have a limit? Yes, reputable manufacturers put a lot of money in R&D, engineering and design into their products and that cost must be recouped. Then a company comes along and knocks off the design, reproduces it using cheaper inferior materials and there is savings to be had by the consumer. And there’s the catch, you’ve read a million threads about it all over the intertubes. But are some of these high end brand names taking it a little too far? Case in piont; the Spoon battery tie down. I’m sure it’s a quality piece, but just how much R&D and engineering went into this? Enough to warrant the $185 price tag??? Maybe I’m a poser and a ricer but it seems to me this is $60 worth of battery tie down and $125 worth of we’re Spoon and we’ll charge whatever we think we can squeeze out of these JDM obsessed americans.
