I'm all for a cheaper alternative (I was one of those that bought the TRD one) but aren't you guys overstating things a little about R&D and all?

It looks for all intents and purposes like a TRD part, except you get a choice of colour?

Like I said, $90 shipped beats $141 plus shipping anytime, and its hidden away in the engine bay, and should feel the same, so it doesn't matter if its TRD or NST, but one would sure feel the difference of 50 bucks in their pocket.

I only wish they'd put it out earlier, I would have bought an NST instead.

I'm sure they had it easy "taking some notes" from the trd design,I think some people don't realise that the first few sold aren't even for profit,they typicaly cover overhead. Thats why they needed 14 I bet,thats the turning point that they probaly start to get some money out of it. We are baisicly all investors,and in return we get a product at a better price than normal,we will be the first 25-?? people in the world to get them too. I'm not saying we should or should not get a bigger discount,as I would be happy to get one,I'm cheap like most people.
