To clarify, I'm talking about reproductions of parts long discontinued. I.e. Dorki Dori bumpers, GKTech Ganador type mirrors, etc. You can't have it both ways, the originals are going to skyrocket in price as they become more limited and the market will/is providing lower cost alternatives since demand is so high.
You can't phase out something that is discontinued or no longer in production.

Again, I'm not talking about "knock-offs" per say. I'm talking about replacements for parts not in existence anymore so people don't bitch about the price of Ganadors or front lips.

No, I'm looking at it from a Capitalists point of view. Which with exception to monopolies provides the best value/lowest cost to consumers.
