Not telling anyone else what to do with their money, but I can definitely see his point and frustration.

In more related news to this, i'm looking at options for making a set of foglights like the Marquez ones I have, checking what modeling cost is, and what machining costs are. I'm sure there is a market since running lights are few and far between with Fesler exiting and Marquez being impossible.
As a businessman, I can definitely understand this too. But, that's how the market goes. His business model and management and the way he conducted business had a lot to do with it too. You can't be rude to people, talk crazy to them and act uninterested in their time and suddenly expect them to spend their hard earned money and patronize your business at the same time when they have a choice. Now, I know I have bugged the crap out of Ring Brothers over the years with questions when I wasn't spending money and got answers to those questions and got treated well. You don't mind spending your money at establishments like this.

I'd say there is a market for them if you ask me.

Yes Don, I agree. I went to Finch's website one day about a month ago and no info pulled up...it was all gone.
