Vote for the Authorized Vendor of the Year!

[jrodhotrod]

I <3 MAM, SPD and AutoRnD.

All have been instrumental to me and getting my car done. I would vote for all of them if I could.

I have to say that Rishie and ARD MP5 have been an AV for nearly 2 years (20 months)...The longest term of any AV in Mazda Forums history! I would like to say Thank you for helping to support this community and for being a quality AV!

I'm proud that we have such quality AV's to vote for...(thumb)

 

[RyanJayG]

yeah, I agree... I wish I could of voted for Rishie too... too bad there isn't a Heisman style voting system embedded into vB

R&D = t3h winn4r

almost exclusively responsible for the appearance aftermarket in the US for the protege. Probably imported more autoexe and mintblue pieces for the protege than anyone else. I bet the DGM pieces were molded off of autoexe gear from Rishie (as much as he probably hates to hear that) and the demand for the replica lips and grills was created by the original autoexe stuff he brought in.

original Custom EVO VIII style fiber images CF hoods.

Work wheels and any other expensive forged wheels from japan. Endless brakes, JIC/TEIN coilovers.

Nothing is done half assed. Every single thing AutoRnD touches is done the best it can possibly be done, or its not done at all.

[ARD MP5]

You guys are awesome. Thank you sooooo much. I guess I'm gonna have to start opening up that Special VIP book and start adding names to it once again. hehe.

I already did my speech so I'll leave it at that. Thanks guys and continue to wish us luck as we dig deeper and deeper into the Japanese market.

TODAY we are filming kind of a "Tuner Transformation" kind of show for KTSF Ch 26 STIR TV. We'll be using one of my FC's and installing the Zeal Coilovers, Endless 6Pot Mini Inch Up brakes, GP Exhaust, Bride Seats, Work Meister S1 wheels and tires. It's gonna be great. I haven't even seen the car yet. It's gonna show up from the body shop a half hour before the shoot. lol. Not even cut or buffed, haha. I'll take pics from a distance so you can see what it will loook like. lol.

Later this week, JGTC/D1 Endless Booth. We have President of Endless coming with the Race Queens. oooooo. hehe.

Thanks, Rishie

Slug, you are so right. DG must have replicated my AutoExe stuff and I know who supplied them too. lol. But what can you do. I've complained etc... but it won't help. I try to stand up for the manufacturer's who really spend the time and money to design this stuff, but in America it's almost always a losing battle. We need to start looking for service and quality rather than price. This is the strongest movement we will be making within the industry. I know this kinda sucks for a forum, but I really want people who are near good shops to use them. We really need to support our local tuners etc.... Being in wholesale I see so many potentially great shops never make it. Really sucks.

 

[FC3s Boy]

[RyanJayG]

[mp5jeff]

[Kooldino]

11:09 was the time I set the poll up 4 days ago.

Well, it looks like the polls officially closed a few hours ago. And it looks like MAM won by quite a margin! Congrats to Mental Addiction Motorsports. You're our 2004 Authorized Vendor of the Year!

I'd also like to take the time to thank each and every one of our AVs, ESPECIALLY the ones that made it to this final poll. You're all here for a reason - you've all done something GREAT for the Mazda community, and your customers recognize that. Thank you all for everything you've brought to the table. We wouldn't have it as good as we do if it weren't for each of you.

(bow)
