Yeah, you MIGHT get a used Gruppe M for around $700 or $800 if you are very lucky.

Usually shipping from Japan is around $75 - $100, so about $1,200 for a new Gruppe M.

aFe is anywhere between $400 - $500 new.

I'll take the Simota for $550 new, then buy a tune for $700 over just getting the Gruppe M.

It's also not often we get new parts for our cars that have been discontinued for 4 years already.

Simota probably thought to themselves "We got the mold from Gruppe M and some extra carbon fiber, it doesn't cost anything to develop, let's throw it out there".
