All the HKS gates are ------- expensive.. that gate is a high performance race gate.. "GT2" designed for some serious hp, and some serious boost.

HKS is just a ------- name! Why do you think that everything you search for on ebay that is automotive related is taged to the words: "greddy, HKS, JDM" ?
