For example, RMS makes a supercharger kit for a first generation M3 that costs $2,500. The kit is as comprehensive if not moreso than the kit here and the M3 is, of course, a sports car.

So, at the end of the day, do you expect there to be a lot of interest in a blower kit at this price for an econocar? Don't get me wrong...I am happy that there is an offering but in this economy, with this car...I mean that is a LOT of money for what it is.
Engineers don't work for free, shipping isn't free, materials aren't free, R&D isn't free, we have to make something....

why do people dump thousands of dollars into a turbo civic that gets beat by a 75 year old man in his 4.8liter Northstar V8?

I don't know....people want it, we make it, some people buy it....

Affordability is all relative....one word "foreclosure"
People will do what needs to be done if they want something bad enough.... no matter what the cost.....

Realistically, if you (Yaribhini) think that its not worth it's not worth it to mod your car based upon the price you bought the vehicle for, then you are looking in the wrong part of this forum....

either that we are all ghetto fabulous..//

since i bought a $4000 lexus, and put $6000 in mods to it so far....but hey it's to me...

but yes at3GG is right.... on this particular forum i suspect we will sell only a handful.....

on that note, our "vendor" test phase is coming to its one month end (we only purchased a month's worth of vendor service) so hopefully we will get a sale before then.... otherwise i dont think my boss will let me renew it again....

we have the supply....so wheres the demand?
