Everything in korea has very competitive pricing unless you're buying a new car.
I've never heard of them or seen any of their work or know anything about the tuner scene in korea besides the fact we only have one car that's sporty enough to tune. and that would be the Hyundai Tiburon.

all in all this seems pretty promising. fingers crossed

The only reason why I'm questioning the quality is because you get the body kit, lighting, installation(labor), paint, carbon fiber hood all for $3,500? how much are they making on that? There aren't too many people in Korea driving an ISx50 that's gonna spend extra to hook it up. Import tax is crazy out there. A IS250 is gonna cost them double. $30k here, $60k there. so only a few people would end up being a spoiled tuner kid with the parents rich enough to buy them this car. so I think the market's really small. unless their plan was to ship'em out from the beginning . . .
To get an idea of what their car market's like. We buy the Hyundai Azera well equipped for $30 grand. they pay $34-$35 grand.
We buy an Audi A8 for for $80 grand. they pay almost $160 grand.
Leasing doesn't exist in Korea either.
The reason for the retarded market pricing of their own cars is because hyundai has like 90% market share. Not too much competition with the import tax that the government set up to protect their economy. just like cell phones. there are like 2 companies that provide service. KTF and the other one I forgot. no competition so they don't offer cell phone deals (new cell fones go for $700-$1000+ with a contract. w/o a contract it's the same price) you don't get nights and weekends free. you don't get free texting, you don't get family plans with unlimited calling between your paid for lines. you share 300 minutes or w/e plan you choose to get. my g/f gets so pissed off when i tell her how much i pay for new phones here and the pricing on hyundai's over here compared to there.
