This is quite true. I work in industry so I deal with these things on a continual basis. R&D has to be recouped in piece price or it's not worthwhile.
At the same time, I would have to assume the R&D for this specific solution is far less than the other systems out there.
There also seems to be a huge range in part cost and installation cost which would indicate there is a fair amount of margin to work with on the dealer side.
If I had unlimited funds, there is no doubt I'd have the Flow installed now. I'm excited to hear some "real world" experiences!

If anyone is interested I might be able to take my mounting plate to work and have them scan the part with our laser scanning CMM to create a 3D model of it for someone looking to make the part themselves.

I'll take it! Thought about buying one and making it fit my 02 lsv...

For a complex design I would agree with you 100%..but this is far from a complex design..rather simple...and they don't need to recover all their development costs in one year..pricing is egregious..just my opinion. It should be priced no higher than $500 with simple installation instructions.
I agree 100%
