If anyone here that may be able to reproduce these baby's it would be a bonus for all the 914 owners. If so, let me know and I will trace these out and send you the tracings of the liners. The pictures are of the rear well liners. Let me know so I can trace these out and get them off before I install these. I'm only going to put liners in the rear wells since I have oil lines in the pass. side front I won't be installing the front liners on my car. The rear liners are going in. The are made of a flexable plastic with clips on each for install. They bolt on to the car where the rear valance meets the wheel well and other side connects where the rocker panel meets the well. Very simple install process, the clips that hold them are pop riveted on to the liners.

I'd have to say that you are more than likely correct with the lawsuits...it's not for the money, more for the principle..... as some people are aware, my bearings are based on another companies product...they are not patented by them or by me...in fact the other company knows I'm making them, I called and talked to the owner and designer..their concerns were that I don't make them too in-expensive and that the quality was as good or better than theirs...my price is a little lower than theirs (and that is going to change very, very soon)...quality wise, I believe I made some good changes to them....also, I will not advertise in places I know that they do such as Grassroots......I've also referred potential customers to them if I've been out of stock and cannot deliver in time...now if tommorow Dick sent me a letter demanding I stop, I'd call him and talk to him instead of just throwing the letter away and ignoring it until it got to a more serious state.... one thing with these fender liners is that I have never seen anyone advertise them besides the units on eBay by Partwerks..I honestly thought of them as an item no longer produced that Partwerks felt they could ask the whatever they wanted to (similar to other sites advertising "the last set on planet earth")..if no longer made, then to me it's fair game....don't want to let the masses know you have a product for sale and charge what is felt to be too much, it's far game...Engman is not trying to undercut the market on these, he sees interest for an item that is priced too high.....I'll be frank here and let you and him know that I didn't like to see him selling the fuse block kit at a price lower than James Adams, but hey, it's an open market and his price is close and as long as it's not like 50% cheaper than no real harm done...sorry for all the rambling (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
