Seriously, if anyone has a set then I will buy them. I can have these made and probably better...NOT SAME EXACT DESIGN...and I would sell them to all of you guys for around $100! Someone can send them to me and I will send them back if they want too! I will see if any of my benz buddies have them on their car.

I remember posting proof (actual test done between a stock rail and the looped rail) his looped rail didn't do what he said it would on the PSC (planet)forum and that was the last time he posted there. The true question is where are his loyal supporters? We know they have been in some kind of contact with him but nobody is talking

Yep that was me. He said it didn't fit the 82mm TB i had but would fit his set-up. Hmmm wish he said that before i bought his y-pipe (and yes he knew the TB i had was a VRP kit from back in the day)

Name me a vendor that isn't crap on this form...
I can think of several that have gone bust and done the same **** through out the years of us been here...some of this stuff is old!
I can go on, but will have to go several years back to check...which is not worth it...
Each and every one of these so called companies were the cream and the beez wax if you asked people then....until the truth started to come out
...that is a long disgusting list if you ask me, all made and promoted through these forums
At the end of the day it does really come to light, might as well go deal with the big boys and spend a bit more, for that added peace of mind...just looking at the names above brings back old horror stories of the past

I've said it before and I'll say it again. TTM was the GO TO place for people in NY according to this forum. TTM could do no wrong in the eyes of many on here. Then when one guy goes public, all the negative stories come out and its a full on implosion.

If you really wanna get him in deep call the IRS. A business asking for cash mailed in envelopes? You may not be able to get blood out of this rock but I bet an audit would find him doing all kinds of shady things and there's NO hiding or ducking the IRS.

what is it about this business that attracts such scumbags?
Id say thats why you pay extra for kleeman or renntech, but who knows whats really going on with those guys.

***Don't call the IRS till you've gotten your money or know it's a lost cause. If uncle Sam does find funny stuff in the books they'll freeze accounts and you'll never get paid.
I think we attract so many scammer shops due to the overinflated prices we pay for what are common parts for other cars. Granted some things will cost more due to lower total sales volume but we're getting screwed on a lot of overpriced parts around here and these guys see it and jump on the bandwagon. Just my opinion. As others have said, $350 for folded up tin?

Wow that is not cool at all. Open still making money and he still hasn't gotten back to you. I hope he has a excuse or is sick or something and not trying to say that is a nonsensitive way. But he did have a medical problem or a family member did then that might explain it but if not that ain't cool at all.

Guys i didnt want to say it as it was tooearly for me to jump to conclusions. But with some mentioning to call the Feds in, i feel it may be important.
Yesterday while searching for his business. I couldnt find any record of TTM, or Tuning Technology Motorsports Inc., or Detailing by Bruce Inc. on the New York State Database of Corporations. It may be listed as a DBA but I dont think it was a real business at all.

I confirm, Bruce is a douche bag, kept my car for over 3 weeks without repairing it and lied to me tons of times. He's an a$$hole.
I also can tell you guys that he drives his customers cars home. I was there until 8PM waiting for the tow truck to come get my car and they didn't want to leave the office until they made sure I left... They thought I did but I was actually still there at the corner... Him and his workers left the shop in 4 different AMGs ripping it... 2 E55, one 2012 white C63 and another E55 wagon (I think the last one is his).
