O.K., this is going to be a little bit rant, a little bit question and a little bit ask.

As some of you may know, GruppeM is a company that primarily specializes in high-end carbon fiber intake systems. Yes, they are very pricy but they sure look good (can't attest to their performance but I do think they have dyno graphs posted for some of their systems). The thing that (rant start) kills me is they are a Japanese company but, have very little in the way of products or applications for their domestic market vehicles. Also, I realize that a business exists to make a profit and they have to deal with supply and demand but, when you look at some of their applications there is no way that volume or demand is going to be high. I make these observations because I can't understand why they couldn't or wouldn't do something for the F. Here is a link to their site:

Take a look at the offering for the M. It even has a ram air tube into the front fascia opening. O.K., I know, I know... its $2700!! But, I think I would be in for something like this.

They've got one for the Aristo and previous gen Land Cruiser for Christ's sake! Can't they do an F?

So, here is my ask. I have already submitted an inquiry through the Contact Us. Can we get others to do so? Also, any one who has contacts or works with Japanese companies - maybe a visit is in order (Amgone75)

Mods - I understand if you may want to merge this with another intake thread.

Actually, they now have native English speaking staff on hand to help. They have lots in the way of Japanese tuning cars. However, they didn't have native English speakers at that time to listen to your needs. They are working on a new direct site. www.gruppemdirect.com
