Default I want to address the "What's it made from?" question

I have had a number of people ask me what some of our products are made from. I get questions on what tube and wall thickness.........

Well to my delight we have been ripped off along with Madman. AND to top it off we have a sponsor in the 1st thread. I hope it is not to facilitate the ripoff.

The standard answer going forward will be the same smart *** one I give my kids.

Everything is made of SUBATOMIC PARTICLES. There, you have the ingredients to our full product line.

"He bought a rack kit and motorplate from us. It looks like he copied yalls master kit."

We spend a lot of time on R&D. The bumper supports were not cheap to R&D as evidence to this. It is far easier to copy stuff and use 3rd rate parts. We will continue to inovate and bring new stuff to market.

So for the few that have ruined it for the many, Thanks.

For the rest, please understand why we will no longer give material answers to the "What's it made from?" questions.

I'm done for now. Start the flame war.

This kind of stuff is unfortunately gonna happen, goes on in all walks of business unfortunately.

Just keep selling good quality parts, and people will continue to buy them. Not everyone is intrested in the absolute cheapest price, those of us in the know, will continue to be your customers, and we'll be the ones that have cars that run #'s safely and don't fall apart.

Couldn't have said it better

It is known who makes the parts that work and fit and the quality and pride that go into making/developing those parts, oh and another important part, customer service

the fact that you came on here and asked us what WE wanted to see on the market, and then within a week had a working prototype, and days later i was able to order the part....will keep my business with you...

that dosent even bring in the fact that you guys were easy to communicate with both on the forum and the telephone.

i may not have spent much money with you yet, but you can expect much more in the future simply due to how much you guys obviously care about your customer

Since I can't PM you I will say I never had your kit and never measured any of your stuff. I have access to a broken arm romer, proE, autocad and CNC equipment. It is not hard to make anything with the access I have to this equipment.

Sorry but it is a free world.
