Why are they using Seibon's pictures? Unless they're a vendor for them now.

i wouldnt waste my money on them, search around more RRM has insane markups on all of their products, and they take other people products, mark it up and sell them.
imo save that money and get you a drop,wheels or some nice performance parts

from what ive noticed for the most part, it seems like rrm really does make their own products guys, stop the hating. yeah, some of their stuff is marked higher than other places, but thats where you need to be an educated shopper and quit blaming it on them if you dont want to look around yourself. (not talking about any one person specifically, just sayin) i understand they have a lot of similar products, but if something is selling well, why not capitalize on that. if you look at what they have out, some of the stuff may look like the same as other companies, but they do have original productions as well. a lot of the times, sure, they usually just use the other guys' general ideas and then build off of them to make it their own and make it in a way in which they think it would be better. plus you have to consider overhead and pre-production costs for a shop that does its own development and testing, which would explain why rrm exclusive products are usually pretty expensive. it basically boils down to, if you find something you like from rrm and nobody else is making it, be glad they are. if you are able to find it cheaper elsewhere, more power to you and congratulations on finding a great deal

they have to make money to stay in business. so If you want to support an american company that employs hard working americans, buy from them or another shop that manufactures their own products. Supply and demand will always set prices eventually, so if their too high, they will lower the price to stay competetive. Always shop around, but RRM does have a youtube channel where you can see hoe to install most of their products for the lancer. not alot of shops do that..

I think CF looks the best on a black car...it becomes a subtle detail instead of an in-your-face detail.
