I wonder if a part of the reason the price is so relatively high is the strength of the yen against the dollar right now? And $39 shipping from Japan isn't bad. There is no $5 international shipping.

That one is actually really good looking. Still too expensive, but nice.

OP - I had thought about having the local highschool metal shop make some. You could pay one of the students to machine some to your liking on the cheap! I have time to hatch such an idea, but not enough time to actually do it.

lol, now thats what i call JDM....on a side note, i like the japanese characters on the bottons. About shipping, i ship small items USPS First Class international airmail to Canada, Australia, Mexico, Philipines etc...all the time and it's only $4. The only problem with USPS First Cass international airmail is that there is no tracking # provided so in order to get traking # and to be protected you would need to ship Express which is $40 or so. Other countries can ship it for cheap and get tracking # but not the US which is lame. I know since i go to the post office 3 times a week since it is part of my job.

Does anyone know how to replace the *****? Do they just pull off? The woman who owned the car before me ruined one of the *****, so it would be nice to replace them with OEM *****, not 300$ ones though.

Haha. If only I was made of money. With that being said, if you can just pull them off and pop new ones on, I would be asking the dealer or a salvage yard for the M37 or M56 *****. They are silver also, and would look great.

Someone should actually machine/make them and make some profit. I'd buy a set, just not for 300$
