I am not bashing motorex for their high prices, heck, id be the same if i were them! But, u got ta think, do u seriously think all cars imported are bought legitimetly? Im pretty sure some are stolen and shipped over here seing they sell them without any legal documentation of the buying transaction from the real owner. I am also pretty sure the owners of motorex have plenty of money themselves. It takes money to make money! I can see them paying 20,000 for each skyline, times 5= 100,000. Plus other expenses = a total of 150,000 at the most? 150,000 is not much to these guyes and take no time to get back. As for meeting the DOT standards by reinforcing and etc. it does not cost no more than 6500 to detune and place bumper brackets behind the bumper unless the parts they are using is made from 24k gold. I do not know for sure the exact cost but im pretty sure the money they are spending is chump change. I mean who would even throw down a big bux just to make money in the long run unless that money is of little value to them? I dont want to see everyone and their mothers with skylines but i would like to see a couple of em'. As for u not wanting to see them "riced out" why do u hate on people for their own style? Im pretty sure a couple of years ago u guys were all into whut u call rice now also. just because all this jdm hype is coming up does not mean u have the right to hate. U can have your own opinions but keep em to yourself. Im pretty sure when this jdm hype blows over them youll move on to .........i dunno.......kdm(as in the koreans such as kias, ang etc.)
