Part of my secret is my QC department that thoroughly tests the product.

Actually, I continue to improve the product. An example would be the door handle isolators. I originally waterjet cut these from sheet material. They worked, but were not as nice as the OEM part. I now mold these to be like OEM. Another example is the rear targa seals I'm doing on group buy. I make a foam seal version that works, and seals, but I will be making one like OEM, a lot less than OEM, but it will be hard to the difference and at 75% less than OEM, well you get the idea.

I do want to thank everyone for your support, I may not make a bunch of cash, but I cover the bills and enjoy solving problems.

-Mark

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have been grateful from the very first thing I ordered from you Mark, back when I didn't know anything about these cars.

I know you don't make much, and that you definitely could raise prices some to make more. I expect that you will eventually, and I honestly think you should. For the time being though, you're building a customer base that will be with you for here on out. I wonder how much more business you'd pick up if you started doing 911,912, 924/944 stuff? Not that you need more on your plate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm actually doing some contract work for 911 and 356 stuff.

Whitesell Architectural Supply (my parent company) will be changing it's name to Whitesell Design Group. This will allow me to spin off the Architectural products and do more design work.
