He know he has done nothing to add to the design of the VRS-Miami Muffler exhaust so he just need to admit it.
I don't see any ground breaking advances for the FWD SR20, period. With VERY STRICT EXCEPTION to a few of the godfather FWD SR20 clan (Chuck, Mark, etc.), it's a pretty dead market.
Hell, the 94 POS Honda Del Sol I had still had more aftermarket support than you could shake a stick at. I found that very hard to swallow.
That's the problem. You have maybe 3 or 4 individuals in the entire marketplace that own the most shares, because their products have been backed by them for years. So of course no one will buy from the new guy, when he shows up at your doorstep with some product that looks nice, but you haven't seen in operaton.
Whole point I'm trying to make is that this guy actually came to his target audience to solicit ideas, and to get the community involved in something they wanted, themselves. So what if it looks like something else. That's always the end result anyway.
I guarantee you if no one made stealth headlights, someone out there would do it and then start turning sales up. It sure looks like a regular headlight, but has a black housing...
Anyhow, nothing ventured, nothing gained. If the guy does well, then congratulations. If not, then that's just what he will have to deal with in this community. Best of luck regardless! Hope he's ready for the cheapness that is the SR20 community in general. (No offense to any of you reading this, in any way.)
