The fact that I saved enough money to upgrade my car simply does Not imply that I would feel justified in spending 'just $100 more' for a piece of engine bay dress-up. For you and those of you who do, good for you! It DOES look hot. And I really Would like to own one.
However, the fact that my opinion of thinking $100 is a *little* steep does not justify financially classifying 'all of us SR20DET owners' or give you the right to judge any one of us.
No offense to MVP, these look like they were made up on nice equipment. I can already tell you won't have any problems selling them. I realize CNC Machines aren't cheap, I just wish this product were a tad cheaper in a group buy type deal.
You're right, You don't go into the diamond store without money. You also don't surf the internet and find that everyone's exactly like you.

I didn't imply it, I said it outright. You should see how much a cover plate like this is for other engine platforms, 2 to 3 times as much. Spending $99.00 for something of this obvious high quality is not out of the question, and I believe that MVP has their pricing spot on.
Remember that in this hobby, presentation is half of the meal. Even if the car is fast, a dirt bomb engine bay gets no respect. I'd order one of these while MVP still has them around.
