Can anyone please explain to me why in the hell this ACS footrest is $500. It's obviously not made out of solid gold. True, it looks awesome and I would love to have one, but seriously $500?????

Its hand crafted in China,

People's blood, sweat, and tears made this pedal come true.. (actual cost, $.50 cents). ACS Mock up price.

Oh, I forgot the most important part. It adds +10 HP to the engine. It helps keep the car's engine bay cool because all the heat gets sinked to this little piece of metal.
