It may look cheap, but it can still look pretty badass. You also have to consider the fact not everyone has the same level of “disposable income”.

A $40 flat black paint job or any rattle can paint job vs. $4000 paint job(max, not saying all good paintjobs have this pricetag).  
IMO i’d rather spend the $4000 on other car parts.
