Looks like they're roughly $700 shipped, seems kinda steep for replicas.

How much are the real deal?

For Tom's, I've seen some vendors sell them for a little over $1k, but I believe Mod in Japan currently has their listing for exactly that (tax and shipping not included).

Personally, I wouldn't rock replicas. This is a personal choice, and I don't judge those who do, even for our cars. Some don't feel the need for the authentic version, which is fine, while others regret their decision because the fitment isn't quite right or the weave pattern is off....whatever. But with the price so similar in this case, I can't see why one wouldn't want the authentic version.

The wald replica looks more like a mix between Wald and Arkym. I don't think it looks good. For a couple hundred more you can get one from Japan.
