"The fit and finish is perfect in all regards. No bottom posts to rub. We use stainless steel screws to secure your scoop from the bottom "into the scoop itself. " The screws fit perfectly through the existing holes left behind after removing you oem hood trim ring/scoop."

The above is from PU's latest Christmas ad here on NAM on its CF scoop. It sounds like they lifted the few kind remarks I have made on a single product of theirs and threw it in their ad. Maybe I should ask for a fee ; not interested in a writing credit though!

I hope some at least have seen this latest addition to the vendor reviews. Here is the quote, "OUTRIGHT LIES!!!" You all knew that already, right?

Last Review Posted by DmOcRsI - posted: 12/30/2007 5:31pm


I do not own any PU products; however my decision to review is due in part that I do not need to purchase products from a company that outright lies about their products. I have extremely good relations with my wheel sponsor Sportmax Wheels (soon to be XXR Wheels) and within that I'd like to welcome everyone to compare wheels on their website http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/wheels.shtml to compare their wheels with those advertised on PU's website. I'd like to specifically point out Style's 003, 006, 009, and 962... these wheels have been around for years now and were designed and constructed overseas in Taiwan. They are not a bad wheel at all; they are all cast with the exception of the 003's and are fairly strong. But they are in NO MEANS "...designed by Palo Uber and engineered in Europe by our specialist." That is absurd... even more absurd than their selling price between $1,495-$1,690. I mean, even the forged 003's can be found for $850.00 for a set. "This is the rim others have attempted to imitate, but no other manufacturer comes close to our arch spoke curvature..." OUTRIGHT LIES!!!

Well I just had to post this after over a year. Looks like free enterprise works, no matter what this administration thinks . PU seems to be lost in the wind This was the most hilarious thread of all time Dang sure wish I would have snagged one of these wings though

Just checked back into this thread after a lot of years. MidnightCoop's car is/was awesome looking, but PU was the WORST vendor I have ever dealt with. Are they still in business? I hope not.
