The graphite towers are "just" CNC'ed.
But yes you are correct about the rest

Plastic shock towers are always less expensive to buy retail than their aluminum or carbon counterparts. Therefore they do not add value like carbon or aluminum parts would and cannot really be viewed as equals.
Cnc isn't really fancy anymore , its kinda a way of life in 2016 when your selling $350 2wd kits. Have you seen a lot of $350 2wd kits that don't CNC ?
The fact the Ball diff retails for $72 is interesting. That's a pretty pricy ball diff , I had no idea it was that much .
