Part of my secret is my QC department that thoroughly tests the product.

Actually, I continue to improve the product. An example would be the door handle isolators. I originally waterjet cut these from sheet material. They worked, but were not as nice as the OEM part. I now mold these to be like OEM. Another example is the rear targa seals I'm doing on group buy. I make a foam seal version that works, and seals, but I will be making one like OEM, a lot less than OEM, but it will be hard to the difference and at 75% less than OEM, well you get the idea.
I do want to thank everyone for your support, I may not make a bunch of cash, but I cover the bills and enjoy solving problems. -Mark Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have been grateful from the very first thing I ordered from you Mark, back when I didn't know anything about these cars.
I know you don't make much, and that you definitely could raise prices some to make more. I expect that you will eventually, and I honestly think you should. For the time being though, you're building a customer base that will be with you for here on out. I wonder how much more business you'd pick up if you started doing 911,912, 924/944 stuff? Not that you need more on your plate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Whitesell Architectural Supply (my parent company) will be changing it's name to Whitesell Design Group. This will allow me to spin off the Architectural products and do more design work.
