This rivet does absolutely nothing for structural rigidity, but it is one modification out of many, and on the list they gave to the NHTSA. Even if you tore their cars apart, unless you pop this rivet into your R33, you won't have done the same mods Motorex does.

When you factor in the number of Skylines Motorex legalizes each year, they OBVIOUSLY do not pay their bills solely on that income. They provide a service to those who can afford it. In business, you set up your price structure where (on a graph) the number of units sold(produced/whatever) decreases as the unit price increases... the market price is where these two lines intersect. Motorex legalizes cars more as a side business than anything else. It is not their only, or even main, concern to get these things legalized. He will continue to make money from his other efforts and as such, doesn't seem to care what we (the Skyline loving community) think of him or his business practices.
Not that I am fond of his practices myself but I don't think it's a crime or even bad business to get what you can for a service or product. Most people would do the same in his position most likely(as far as pricing goes).

Lack of descent looking sports cars were in the USA, so people were importing classic europeon cars.
