I am confused, must be cause I am not from Boston but didn't you just say that you ordered these and quality is great? I think all these products are just putting holes in all our wallets.

Nope, I never ordered these and I have no idea about quality whatsoever. I just posted that on psc because that place is a joke.

Hey Guys!
I just decided to start a new company on my lunch break! I will offer innovative products at rock-bottom prices....
Here's a teaser shot of my first product. This one's a "game changer".
Pricing will be very competitve since my development costs are low. These will be offered in a group buy for only $99/pair if I can get 20 people signed up.
Forget about heavy steel, or played-out carbon fiber. These are made from genuine conifer-fiber! Super light weight, high performance and eco-friendly too!
I don't have a vendor membership yet, so you'll have to look for me on the web at: Fabulous Technology Motorsparts (F\T\M)
Other "innovative" parts coming soon......

Interesting choice in words.....
Dyno results are coming SOON!!! Our test car is logging miles now to make sure everything is perfect.
We are currently collecting discarded toiletpaper rolls, and will be developing them into an innovative long tube header product. It takes a lot of empty rolls to make a complete set of headers so there will be a significant "lead time" on this one.

Man, I've got so many original ideas it's crazy....
Instead of a fuel rail, how about a fuel LOOP? Cool idea, right? I'm thinking this can be accomplished either with old hula-hoops or maybe by emptying out some of those glo-sticks and gluing them together.
Did you know that if you make the crank pulley larger you can get more power? Well I've got an idea for a clamp-on style ring that uses the stock pulley so you never have to touch that scary crankbolt. I can make different size rings for different amounts of boost.
I've got a buddy who is a knows a lot about computers. He says that the ECU is just a bunch of "ones" and "zeros" so we should be able to change those around quite a bit and get some extra power that way also.
Exhaust is a big power adder too. Most people don't know this but the louder and exhaust is, the more power it makes. We have some ideas to make the car SUPER loud...... Mercedes left a lot of power on the table when they put all those cats, resonators and mufflers under the car. Once you cut that stuff out you save a lot of weight too.
The E55 platform is getting cheaper to buy on the used car market, and our goal is to make products that literally ANYONE can afford. The more young kids we get to buy these cars the faster this new market can evolve. My goal is to get every 16-year-old kid with a drivers license into an E55 with at LEAST 500RWHP..... what could possibly go wrong?

well i would say a cheap product and a product that doesnt fit properly without modification is a product that needs to be re-thought out and re produced. All though i love my TTM scoops and the look i was kind of upset of the fit so either way you guys are arguing about the same thing but supporting diffrent venders.

Simple as that. To defend that is downright silly. If anyone disagrees, let me know so that I can misrepresent something in the classifieds section you can buy from me.

Looking at the pictures I would say the scoop is made by the vacum bagging method , and you always get a poor finish on one side of the component , but looking at the picture it looks very much like the peel ply that is used in the vacum procces has not been removed or the spreder membraine has been left on .

Bottom line is this, MOST vendors whether here or elsewhere just do not stand up to their products. Should probably start a thread. Scoops, headers, tunes, pulleys, etc. Very seldom does a vendor really standout with integrity, quality items that fit and work as advertised, and backs it all up in case something goes south. This does not include those that simply should not be turning wrenches and screw up the install then blame the vendor which I am sure there are plenty. Talking legit issues here.
Have seen an admin on another car forum steal deposit money for supercharger kits, parts that destroy cars, disappearing threads once called out, etc.
Mistakes happen, but what occurs next gets around quick. Look at the wheel thread posted elsewhere.
That stated my IC kit worked out OK in the end, but it took a bit of effort on my part and FT-P did kick back some money to me which covered the additional parts, etc.
Looking at the pics above on the scoops. I like them, not sure how long they will last though. I'm just glad I did not have to trim my TTM scoops like others have had to do since they obviously ignored those complaints when posted.
At this point when buying something I ask myself what will it take for me to make the product live up to my expectations.
Caveat emptor fellas. We are all car enthusiasts in the end and sharing our experiences is what it is all about.

I would like to chime in and simply state that we are not associated in any way, shape, or form with FTP or their products.
Our carbon fiber parts have taken months upon months to develop, mold, test fit, and make sure the quality is top notch before ever offering or shipping an order. We also stand behind our parts and provide the best customer service long past your order completion , so please do not let one sponsor/vendor reflect on all
