I can be there!



let me know 1 week in advance and its on. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

I think you missed what I was saying.



If your where ever and there are 2 more people in your area, you can do a GB on it then, otherwise the price is normal.

but since there doesn't seem to be any interest in my area, I'd be willing to join the gb in soCal. I have no problem going down to pick it up also.

Hi Jason,

I was just wondering (since I was already in the last GB for this diffuser)...

How do you tell that it's authentic? God forbid that I might sell it someday, but I want to be able to say that I have the read thing. I threw away the bubble-wrap & blue RE tape that it came with. I was hoping for a stamp of some sort somewhere on the inside (like i've seen several companies do) but I didn't come across any during the install.



Any ideas?



*btw, if you need me to help out in this in anyway, just let me know https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Actually RE-Amemiya usually puts a tag on it during the manufactuering. Their little emblem and then they seal it in with apoxy. I didnt look since I know mine is real when I installed it. Yeah I know yours is too. hehe



I talked to some companies about putting their mark on their bumpers and stuff and sealing it in making it harder to copy and you can tell real stuff from the fake stuff. Buyer confidence and satifaction.

so what is the price for three people ?



is there three people interested in one area or better 2 more people in the Los Angeles area that are interested?



I would much rather get an authentic part if this is going to happen.



Thanks

3 people in the same area for pickup would be



$625.95 shipped.



Since it might be brought up: the deal last time was a little better since I was able to have one central hub for 5 diffusers so that cut costs again. The last time we did this I believe it was $595.95 but I cant do it on 3 diffusers and unless I work some deals with RE-Amemiya which is possible..

Jason,

The reason there is interest in a replica is that a piece of fiberglass is over $600!!! There's about 10 bucks worth of materials in the thing + layup of the stuff + shipping = someone is making a bunch of money on it. Also, this diffuser has been around for a while, so the mold costs were amortized a long time ago. This item should be selling for $400, at most.

I dont have a problem with people making replicas. I wont buy them, since Im buying a name and a part of originality and design. If I wantes a cheap part I would make it in the garage. This thread was made for the buyers that DONT want the replica.



AH the magic info.



The part sells here for right around $400 (with my dicount). but there is this thing called shipping. The cheapest shipping for this odd shaped part is $300. with pickup from the airport.



so that would make is $700 for one. ok here goes... 3 people split the cost since only 3 can get in the box for the $300 shipping price tag, the shipping is split. Hints the price.



$600.. Well you might be thinking I only count $500 well humm I need to pay for a new box, shipping, packing, shipping to the airport, taxes and import taxes to the US so when its picked up so dont pay more money like some companies make you do.



hints $625.95 shipped that means I make about $25 a pop for the work.

I wanted to add.



If I sold fake ones from over here, I would be making closer to $100 a pop, but I only sell the real deal...
