Odd as it may seem, lots of people do.  Places like
Dynatrac and Currie have discovered that people will pay
wheelbarrow loads of cash for custom axles, suspensions,
etc etc.  For them, perhaps it's a different kind of
bragging rights.  The more you pay for it, the better it
must be???

> Why not compare it to the real world and buy one in a junk yard?

You're preaching to the choir, on this list.  I think many
of us (well me, anyway) take a special kind of stubborn pride
in doing this stuff ourselves.  Buying it all off the shelf
and <shudder> paying someone else to install it all wouldn't
be nearly as much fun!  And it'd cost one heluva lot more...
All depends on your priorities, I guess.
