Typically new Carbon Fiber parts have an initial mark-up, because the molds and the process are very expensive. Then economics comes in to play as people don't buy them for that high price, and they have to sell them for cheaper... Hence, iCarbon *sales* all over the place... as well as some quality issues, which when dealing with a material like Carbon Fiber and Epoxy Resin, it is very difficult to make quality parts... However, I think Scopione, if these parts are indeed real, is selling them with a very low mark-up compared to the likes of BMW or iCarbon.
