I don't disagree, but I couldn't make a living from Type 3 parts at club prices,
so I don't begrudge them trying at 'stealership' prices.  VW German quality
always was expensive here, it's the cheap knock-off parts that have brought
prices and quality down.
A lot of things are cheaper in the USA, but by the time they are posted here,
they are as expensive as over here.  Doubly so going the other way.

Anyway, why should a Corvette door seal cost any less to repro than a Type 3?
In fact,
the Type 3 would have a reduced market so you would have to charge MORE for it
to make the same profit or even just to cover the costs.
