Stock Buying Knock-Off parts guys..

seriously..

Its killing the companies that actually do the R&D.

yeah. read about this a while back. sad. great company.

Sorry Lenny but for those of us that have families, mortgages, 2-3 car payments, etc, It's next to impossible to buy expensive stuff. Perhaps if there was a middle ground in price things would be easier. I'm just speaking for myself but I know that for me to save up money to buy Work or other expensive rims is next to impossible. The next best thing is to buy used but even then it still gets expensive.

i also read this a while ago
but the bankruptcy doesnt effect the US right?

are you saying theres NOTHING knock off on your car?

do you work lenny? or do you have the luxury of buying all real stuff because mommy and daddy buy it for you?

LOL true dat


plus its not just about knock offs its also about how they run the company they could have the best products but the worst sales people/advertisement/business plan etc.....

i work hard for my parts, thats for dam sure

i heard that!

and very true jorge. they could have had the most horrible marketing department or something.

I see Lennys point. Forget the customer service, my concern is do things really have to be that expensive. Just look at all the garson stuff. While it looks really cool, I don't think the product really justifies the price. I think a lot of japanese parts arre overpriced and they use the excuse that they are shipped from japan and thats why its expensive. 99 percent of the stuff in my house comes frrom china, I don't see an increase in price of stuff just because its coming from china.

rofl MArio im 17 and i am going to school to get a job that will benifit me in life... and not to flip hamberburgers that some of us call real jobs and say that you work hard.. well maybe if you didnt screw up in school them yea but i would certainly love to get a job but my mom wont let me cause she said i need to focus on school and so shes right so i sell shit that i dont need like old car parts and rare stuff to buy my real stuff.. so ima be smart and stay in school

its okay MArio <3 hahaha

its koo if you say mommy and daddy buys my REal Jdm stuff but they dont..

i buy my own stuff

and no i never said my whole is Tru legit... the only thing thats not real is my wing.. and the carmte cupholder things.. but everything else is straight....

oh wellz.. haha jeez i didnt think some us would get our ball sack tied up over this

Hey some of us like our ball sack tied. j/k Lenny, I'm one of those people that went to school to get my BA and my masters and let me tell you, it doesn't make it easierr to buy expensive car parts. If u want to buy all of the expensive car stuff, here are my suggestions: don't have a social life, don't have a girlfriend, live with your parents. Once u start a family lenny its over. There were months where I paid over 1500 for day care. That could've went to some bad ass rims but u can't think about yourself with a family. I know you're young so someday you'll learn this on your own.

yea im not saying its bad to not buy dupie car parts.. i feel you guys... rofl but mario gets all mad at me because he says stuff that he dosent even know... how can he assume that mommy and daddy pays for everything??? rofl he's just making assumptions... lol.. i know the real parts are really expensive but i feel good to own a part that is real and was made from a tru "OG" company.. but when its like a part that was made 10000000000000000 times and every 1 has it.. then w.e but its all good i never said it was bad at all...

just iono i think it makes you look bad you know like people will talk crap about you behind your back at shows.... rofl some people dun even know..

but its all good i have nothing against any 1

im siding with mario and omar on this on.....do you even know how HARD some of us have to bust our tied balls to own the things we want?....seriously do you even pay for your own car? didnt think so....yea Greddy went bankrupt but so what? everyone knows they wereeeeeee waaaaaaaaaay over priced compared to other companies sellin the exact if not better quality parts. the name Greddy was just another house hold name everyone knew and that eventually got to there heads....so they got effed....but dont worry Trust aka Greddy will not go anywere...they have there ways of getting around bankruptcy in japan

i only asked if you worked or if your parents bought stuff for you. if i was assuming i would have just flat out said, must be nice to have your parents buy you all that stuff. its all good. glad your concentrating on school. thats what i'm doing too now. 1 more quarter for me and i'l have my bachelors degree in info management.

nice mario. congrats on that^^

im 20 years old and i pay my own way through school, i have a social life, and girlfriend, insurance payment, cell phone payment, and a car payment. it takes quite a bit of effort for me to save up to get parts.

the title of this threat itself, you telling us to stop buying knock off parts when you have some on your car? doesn't matter if you have one, two, or twenty you're already contradicting yourself. some of us just don't have the means to get gold sunken in Advans and SWEET ASS hood mirrors. you are in no place to be calling people out for having knock off parts....rofl
