So I went by to check the place out today and order a set of grilles for my car. Met Adam, Steve and Pam....they were all super cool!
Explained the reasoning for falling off the planet a little and I understand. They werent originally getting enough interest to justify spending the money on molds and stuff. This leads me to my next comment. The problem with the slow aftermarket support with these cars is that we're a minority. The majority of people who buy the cars arent going to mod them so aftermarket companies dont want to invest the money in R&D of new parts for just a few people to buy.
So......we need to gangup on some companies so they see that people are actually interested in modding these. I know it will work...Pretty sure I can speak to the amount of tuners that Livernois is kicking out now...i know it's more than they expected. It's forums like these that lead others to get involved.
I personally will continue to try new stuff and try to gain support. You guys have helped tremendously with purchasing stuff from Livernois...I know they have plans to really support the Ecoboost now and I'm pretty sure new parts will be available soon. I'll be getting the radiator, 170 degree t-stat and meth injection in along with the new grilles in the next couple weeks....and then?????
Sorry for the rant, back to Mobsteel...those guys gave me alot of info today and were extremely helpful...I take back anything I might have said about them not responding to emails...Adam told me today they spend alot of time in the shop but need to be more diligent in responding to their customers and I believe they will. They run a first class operation there. And for anyone who may have said that their Brembos were non functioning I can assure you they are.
Enough for now...I'll be pushing this car to it's limit soon enough!
Until then..Happy Motoring!!
