A note about vendor bashing.

And thanks for my MBC, FCD, and FPR that I received within 48 hours, too.

The way I see it nothing needs to change. If a vendor offers a good product at a good price with good service people will buy it and be happy with it. If a company feels we are giving them a hard time and it's not worth it to them anymore, then they have no place in the market and should leave. Too bad for the community, but that's just economics. We aren't looking to play patty cake with vendors here but rather do business.

Well I didn't have enough time right now to read all 10 pages... One thing I do to keep the vendors happy is not to jump all over them about a product unless i'm serious about fronting the cash to get the ball rolling. Helping to keep our vendors = putting your money where your mouth is.
***I'm not sure if this was already dicussed... just my 2 cents.

Awesome.....

not. And just to think I got my car because the aftermarket was awesome...

 

[low_psi]

SWEET! Thanks guys!

 

[KzA]

I think this is getting a little excessive now...guys, we still have a good aftermarket with good vendors who are here for us and listen to our needs..you act liek everyone got up and left..

Learn to appreciate what we have and we will keep it..bottom line..there isnt much more to be said..

 

[t3ase]

by the way, jurgs, you were one person more than one vendor has talked to me about.

thanks for playing, though.

I'm sorry but that's not correct. Someone can drop *cough*$8,000*cough* in parts from vendors and still make them very uneasy about continuing business with us.

and thats before even touching the boost!

Exactly. Depressing how few people in this thread understand this.

There will ALWAYS be parts made for the Protege's.. aftermarket or stock. There may only be a handful of places where you can buy the parts, but it's still better to have a few good vendors than to have 1,000 Honda ones. And I plan on having my car for the rest of my life. No trading in and no selling it. Eventually people will learn that with as limited a production as they were.... one day... they WILL be worth something or will be considered a "classic". It's not today... but some day they will. Watch. You'll be telling your children... damnit... I REALLY wished I had kept that car. It may not be because these were the best cars in the world.... but eventually after all the crashes, wrecks and deterioration, they will be popular again.

And yeah, thanks to DaveB!!! Not only was he ONE man making a product no one else made... but he did it with one machine and by himself when he had time on the side. AND NOT ONLY THAT.... but he sent a CD to explain how to put it on. (didnt really need to because it was a pretty simple install... but that just shows his willingness to help & be professional about it).

that to me was a really touching and personal way to promote the product. i always liked that
