Do they have a lengthy explanation about how tape is extremely weak and unreliable and will make it so your cubby shuts again so you need anodized nuts to hold the plastic wedges they sell for 300% markup?
I don't have them but why would you need nuts? The wedges are threaded. Do you figure the screws will back out? I don't know if the threads are cut slightly undersized so the screws stay tight but I'll ask them this morning. This way, the wedges could "float" and probably never back out. I cannot tell from the video.
Could be more than 300% gross profit. Just to let you know, I have yet to buy anything from ECS. I only do tunes. But at least give them credit for making a product that maybe only 10% of US R owners will buy. They still needed to design it, probably with CAD, and make perhaps multiple prototypes, probably with a 3D printer, then make the molds and produce it, drill and thread the holes, etc. You were in design and manufacturing, right, so you know this wasn't a 5-minute project where they can make a lot of money on maybe 1,500 pairs. Even at 300% that's only $15,000 gross profit if their cost is amortized over that small a production run. I'm not saying you, but a lot of R and GTI owners pay a lot more markup than that on performance enhancements where the production runs are larger. And look at tunes. I figure flash tuning companies do a lot better than 300% and they mainly have labor expenses.
