Hopefully, some of the great aftermarket companies can continue developing their own pieces that sets them apart from the stuff on Chinese marketplaces e.g. Alpha-N trunk.

Anyways... the video was enjoyable. Hoping you guys continue making cool comparison videos like this.
Like everything, the market dictates all. There's folks out there with enough $$ that will pay the premium on cosmetic carbon. Humbly speaking, I do not sit in that camp. Being 27 in the Bay Area with an M2 is already expensive enough.

That being said, it is refreshing to see more and more folks post here about outrageous pricing for these carbon parts - good for vendors to also take note - but they'll likely do nothing about it... margins are fat I'm sure.
