Wow, never thought I would see this from APS...

Peter has scuttled the ******* ship. Absolutely horrible customer service. He virtually didn't answer a single question or concern worth answering and basically told every F-body owner to **** off because they don't make F-body kits anymore.

I was sad when I found out they stopped producing GTO kits. Now, I could give a damn less, any company that blatantly tells its customers "tough luck" deserves to rot.

Peter you're a douchecanoe.

A. if they are no longer selling Fbody parts, why are they still a sponsor?

B. i dont know much about APS.. but if they do sell stuff for honda/mazda/ford/etc etc etc... shouldnt this thread be all over the big web sites?

Wow.

Who knew that a sponsor would willfully mock a whole car community by saying that they arent selling the molds, no more kits will be produced and that no more service will be provided to them. Just unreal.

We all know that it isnt customer service that gets someone a sponsorship or the quality of the parts but cold hard cash. Anybody off the street can be a sponsor here and they are golden.

I wouldn't go that far....

True, the site is maintained by the capital that the sponsors put into it, but in return the sponsors gain revenue from the users (us), and they continue to provide support to the site. I'll be the first to admit that I was an Air Power Systems rider when I first saw the kit, but the (obvious) level of support provided quickly changed my mind. No disrespect BBall, & your right, cash is king, but the other sponsors on here stand behind their products and good name...

I personally hope that Peter@APS doesn't get banned until after this threads lifetime. It's interesting to hear the things he says.

Does anybody know what Peter does over at APS? Is he in customer relations, sales, or is he the owner? With his attitude over here it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't the owner. If that is the case I wonder what his boss would think of his attitude over here.
