My point exactly. And a hard top. And no sunroof. And one that doesn't have to be my DD, too. Current one is good for that.

Heck, if I could find one with a trashed interior and a blown up engine... that would be CHOICE.

Why the 2 month wait then, did it not work the way you wanted?
Or did you forget that forums like this one are the best advertising for any one make parts manufacturer?
Maby you where trying to stuff it in another mystery box, or where bussy scratching part numbers off?


Yah I'm not too happy with you or your products right now if you couldnt tell.

I'm constantly working on everyone's car but mine. Yes I'm guilty of growing my business. Again, the info you get from other forums isn't always correct.
There is a reason we are tuning cars at the top of the business........ Be sure to ask the others what they have won and whose cars they are tuning.

Its not about what you won, or how much money somebody spemt in the shop.

Any good business shuld be about keeping ALL the customers happy first, (To lnclude the little guy that has only walked into the shop once, and just wanted to talk) and second it should be the quality of your products. Then after all of that MABY its about the trophies and awards.

Any customer that has a problem should contact me first instead of having an agenda by posting here first

Exactly. Jan's always returned my phone calls and PM's. I initially had a problem with the header and he fixed it. Going on two years with no problems! I look forward to doing more business with RMW once the wallet allows .
