I honestly do not think you can charge premium on this kit unless its 2009, which it isn't. Its the last month of production of the E9X platform. Companies are already focusing on cosmetic modifications for the new F series platform and some have already completed them.

Anyway just playing both sides of the fence here. I would love to see this kit in action but it seems a little to late IMO.

The E9X M3 is about to become the E46 M3... Meaning all prices slashed in half for modifications and cars.
Because the F8X platform will be ~$80k new.
Used E9X's will run half that. Some already do.

Because which would you rather have? A TT I6 or a high-revving TT S65?
I guess this is always in the eye of the beholder. I also believe that pricing will be relatively reasonable for this kit.
This isn't Gintani's first rodeo, and I'm sure they wouldn't release this product without taking the product life cycle into consideration.

I don't think it's too late at all. If anything, it has made me rethink whether or not to ditch my 2012 at the end of the lease term. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the new F8X M will be an amazing car. I'll definitely have to drive one to know!
