why are the ground effects for cayenne so expensive? I have seen good quality ground effects for jap cars for under $2k. I can understand that they are not going to sell the same amount of cayenne ground effects as civic or scion but $20k plus install/paint is way too rich for my blood.

what does that have to do with the cost of after market ground effects? floor mats made by the same material and same company should cost more for rolls Royce then Honda- 30x more?

If I were good with photoshop I would have tried that approach before spraying my car, but I’m looking forward to your pics.

Material for any of this stuff is not expensive... it's the molds and production/design that costs a lot. The more you make, the lower price point you can sell them at.
I've seen kits for more expensive cars that fit just as crappy as the ones for cheaper cars. It's definitely not that. lol

Because if you sell 1000 floor mats for a Honda and only 10 floor mats for a Rolls but the tooling costs, design costs, etc are the same, you have to charge 100x more for the Rolls mats to make the same profit.

I understand this but don't understand why are there so many companies out there making kits where the market is so small. how many people actually paid $15k to $25k for the wide body kits on the forum here?

Thanks to all who took the time to comment on this thread. All the feedback (whether good, bad & ugly) is appreciated. I’ll try to muster up the courage (or down a few beers) & attempt to add a narrower stripe(s)
