I guess the word is out ! . . . . .

I think you both own me some credit building solid aluminium fender bars at 1990 to my "pro then" trans am . I did smooth em to look like machined surface. Wery cool back then because everybody else had chorme parts under the hood.

How about that - 17 years ago

Personally, I would have to give my design nod to the Twist part, I think the other example looks too much like my aluminum level ...but both will find a market, and kudos to both of you for tapping an untouched area of the market.

Fatlife, There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to have thier car stand out through the use of different parts that are available out there. I find it ironic that you state, consistently I might add, "it still blows my mind how much money people spend on useless "bling" parts". Looking at the picture of your car, you have billet valve covers, aluminum brackets, braided heater hoses, billet air cleaner, stainless hoses etc etc... it is a very nice car, I really like it, but with the exception of the brackets moving accessories, all of those can fall under the category of "useless bling" and it doesn't matter if they cost less than $200.00, it still falls in the same category.....and your car is by no means lo-buck.

While I am glad you are a contributing member to the site I truly think you have a serious "us vs. them" mentality. Just because a guy can afford to put these types of parts on HIS car doesn't make it wrong, or useless or whatever...it is just different and its OK. You appear to be constantly critical of everything people post that you don't agree with. I am not saying I expect everyone to, in your words, be a "leg-humper" but many of your comments, not all but many, appear to me to come across as pretty insulting, but always followed with a compliment to make it "OK"...of course, this site would be boring if we all agreed as well. Doesn't really matter either way, but that is just the way I see it. Variety is the spice of life, and life would be boring if our cars all looked the same.

streetfytr68,

Thank you for your response, I now know what your development time line was and where it began to parallel mine . . . .

I feel no need to further debate this . . . I stated the facts as I know them in my first post and you have chosen to post a response. Both sides have made their statements now and any further debate may just cause the thread to deterorate into insults and name calling . . . . I am above that.
