Personally I think the lack of interest lately is the fact of look how much cash people gotta put out to get them, and it's a slimc hance as it is. People have been jerked around too much with this crap and have lost alot of money. There are some kids who can afford it because mommy and daddy are rich, but for most of the world, and everyone here at TCCA(at least as far as I know, if not, anyone willing to make donations to my poor a**?) has to watch where they put their money, and make sure they get something for it. I'm sure Bob is still making sales. His prices are reasonable, and from what I hear what you get for your money is very well worth it. Yes I know he does performance parts but a market is a market. Some people (myself included) have to watch what they spend even at lower prices such as the stuff Bob makes. The only reason I'm willing to spend the money when I get it to order some of Bob's stuff is because I have scoured the forums, I've heard the positive feedback on his parts, and I've seen the pictures, so I know I'm going to get my money's worth. Most have more money then me, but when you talk about a 700 dollar body kit suddenly it becomes the same situation as I am in with a 100 dollar strut brace(don't quote me on that I think thats how much they are, hell if I remember anymore. LOL) So anyhow the bottom line in my opinion is that people are tired of being screwed by jackass companies, who aren't making good on their word. The ricers don't care, they have no sense honor for that sort of thing(for the most part), and will continue to buy products from a company that screws them over no matter how many times it happens. Me and most the rest of us, if a company comes and sh*ts on our lawn, we don't do business with them anymore.
