They are not making those anymore and there is still demand for them, they are not patented or anything.

Actually these look a bit different and allows for more option for the XE-R and NX peps. I'll be getting a set myself. I don't see nothing wrong with it, plus my window cranks are faded as crap and I have searched online and nobody else makes these for our cars anymore.

Yeah how are these "fakes or knockoffs" I dont get where your getting at. Both are made from billet aluminum, both are high quality products. Again who cares unless your worried that your original set of billet window cranks are now not worth as much because there is another option out there. If so get over it. Nobody makes them anymore and someone stepped up to meet the demand. Nothing wrong with that. Its also supporting an American Company, at least its not being knocked off by a Chinese company.

They are a nice piece for sure. Ill be putting door panels back in my car so I might be interested in a set later down the road. I like to support the people that support our cars.

I think he means he has the original billet ones,not the original plastic ones.
I am pretty sure the other billet ones wont break.

I see his point,he means you have killed rarity of the originals,and their value.I feel lucky that I sold my set when I did....in fact,you started this deal while my original billet cranks were for sale and almost cost me a sale.
Fortunately,they still sold,but some guys who were interested just waited to see if these would be made.

Your welcome for generating interest again

Anyway,they look great,but I have to agree,you definately hurt the value of the originals.
Either way,dont get me wrong,I am glad anytime we have some new stuff available for our cars.
Also props top you for getting this done so quickly

suck waiting forever for some group buys.

Who made the "original" ones? whats so bad about a guy offering another option for us? its not like he's copying the design of the "original" ones

BTW nice job on these ones
I might be in

^^he pretty much copied the design of the originals...it dont matter to me.
I just feel for the guys who paid alot for the other ones ,and had something sorta rare,now the whole forum will have them.Haha

Just a piece of advice when mounting these.
Make sure that when you install them the handle is down when your window is up,or the weight of the handle could make some cars windows roll down over bumps from the weight of the handle.

I agree that its nice to have rare pieces but we are talking about window cranks here. lol. Its a pretty simple product. Nothing wrong with having more options out there.

Products such as stillen valve covers that were very limited and very rare, its not likely that anyone will make another valve cover like that for one demand for them is not up there because mainly the price it would cost to make them and make a profit off them would drive most away. I forget what the original price of the stillen valve cover was but i believe it was in the 600 dollar range. How many would pay that price for a freakin valve cover. Not many.

Anyways again its good to see American companies and fellow forum members interested in supplying a demand for nice parts.
