If I could make an observation, I think we are wasting our time here messing with childish business attitudes. If no one has noticed, he is playing games with this community judging by his immature responses and clearly lacking engineering knowledge.

The man has no business bone in his body, and shouldn't be anywhere near this forum.

And btw,I like that bracket! Nice work.

It smells like someone has all the right equipment in the shop; just not enough skill, expertise, and quality control to do consistently satisfactory work.


You weren't the only one, Louis. I called it in the VERY beginning, and called him shady from the start. Don't make my dig up the thread, because I can do that too

Some people just learned the hard way.

Had to read that whole thing.

Which led to this thread:

Spark Plug Covers - G20.net - Forums

Yeah, that O.E.M. Group Buy went real, real well.

I remember that cover fiasco on gnet. I tried helping out so much and giving everyone a headsup on that thread and behind the scenes in the sponsor section. Oh well we learned our lesson way back then about OEM.

Oh and some things I have made
door sill plates


bay dress up parts


custom made pathfinder to g20 radio brackets



block off plates




plug covers





Ironically look who was at the end of the thread looking to make the product Interest in plug covers? - Page 20 - SR20 Forum
Now the design was not mine. But I did talk to the person who did design them and take measurements. I asked him if it was OK for me to produce them. He said he didn't have time to make any and it was fine. Wonder if OEM asked him? Sure mine were thinner then OEM's but if using the right spacer and not over torquing the thin ones looked amazing.

The point of the above pics was a direct reply to someone mentioning forum members fabricating or making things. I'm not shop, have access to some toys and I am fully capable of making alot of things. I don't think I have half the knowledge on fabrication then alot of people here.

Oh and remember these guys


Yup that was me too

I have more stuff like battery tie down's, revised cover plates, and radiator brackets (way before OEM though of them) but they were prototype stuff so not worth posting pics. There was plenty OEM could produce that I couldn't but just saying, alot of us who aren't businesses take pride in the parts we can make.

note if I used your picture of a product I produced and you don't want it up here, just let me know. Some of these pics go back many years.
