Maybe they are using a super expensive light weight ink they use when they make that "Lamborghini stamp" and this is what justifies the increase of cost.   :D 

During the Countach and Diablo days, the low volumes and labor intensive assembly of a Lamborghini actually made the costs justified but with cars like the Gallardo that are nearly "mass produced" and use many Audi and VW stock parts, it's has to be the brand name that still drives the new orders and convinces buyers to fork over a quarter of a million for the privilege of ownership.

At the end of the day, Lamborghini's are just another car made by men and women from materials like steel and plastic (with some carbon fiber thown in).  I'll leave my money in other investments that increase in value and enjoy my replica.   8)

LOL...  Maybe I should start a thread in the for sale section or Interior..? 

I used to actually have my CNC machine in my bedroom when I was in a studio apartment..  Now I live with my wife in a 2-bedroom, and the 2nd bedroom is the "shop".  I have a bigger enclosure built for a bigger CNC machine, but never seem to find the time to build it.. 

They're the same for the Murci and Diablo 6.0, they used the same controller.   They're currently $500 +/- depending on what it's controlling, but the new color changing ones might be $600 since it costs more to make them and I'm not making a whole lot on them as it is..  I make way more money at my day job, and that ain't saying much!   This stuff cost a lot to make in small numbers, but I still don't understand how Lambo needs to charge $1,800 for them!  I'm sure they ordered a lot more of them than I'm making, and injection molding is cheaper than machining them out of blocks.  Maybe the company that builds them actually makes a profit.  That's probably it.  LOL

You do all of this from a bedroom?! They look amazing, are they available for the Murci LP640's or just the Diablo, what is pricing on something like this?

jdinner:
I too have a Riceburner controller....top notch work. Rob is one smart guy!

Awesome to have you on board Bob!  For anyone who has never seen one a Riceburner HVAC unit up close I'll tell you that it's a piece of art and the craftsmanship that goes into them is amazing.  I recently sold mine but that was only because I'm going with the racecar theme and my car will have a simple toggle switch and cable pull for the heater and I'll have no AC which will look right at home in the racecar inspired interior.  If I was to build another car and was sticking with the OEM theme, I would buy another controller in a heartbeat.
