"So, while you may not be able to get a genuine JDM Ralliart strut-tower brace or shift knob, you can breath easy that the SportBack that you've been saving your lunch money for will still be at your local dealer by the time you've got enough scratch."

An extreme lack of or know-how in marketing ruined this company.

not gonna happen!!! Ralliart will just merge in with Mitsubishi and become a oem performance parts... just no longer stand alone... just like NISMO... they used to be a stand alone company a division of Nissan but now nismo and nissan merge and provide nismo parts at the dealer in the usa as of 2004 maybe earlier...

lol yea i am still a hard core nissan fan but just not of there new stuff...

Those are the two kickers right there. The parts are expensive and hard to get a hold of. If they just made them easier to get, and maybe a little cheaper, they wouldn't be having this problem.
