Full Version: Brand Names On Parts
When is it important for people to have a brand name on parts. I understand things that are critical to function. But do you really care to pay more for things like taillights or billet and chrome gizmos? Don't want to offer things if it is an issue.

Doesn't matter to me as long as they work.
ditto, thats why I got a set of empi 40 carbs instead of paying almost twice as much for the same thing with "weber" on them.
I think name is important on parts when it relates to service. Examples:
King Shocks - Great shocks, great service
Jamar Perofrmance - Great Peddles, Great Service
Gear-One - Great Axles, Good Service
OMF - Great Beadlocks, Greatest Service
Other Examples:
STU Great Tires, Poor Service
Extreme Paddles - Good Paddle (depending on size), good service
It goes on and on. Use the brand name when it realtes to better service. you might pay a little extra for the name (unless it's robby gordon wheels then you pay a crapload for the name) but the service will offset the prices.

I agree with that. Those fall into my critical to function catagory. But that billet grab handle does not need to say Empi or CB.

Correct, in a sense. You can get cheapy import billet brake line clamps for $10. Sometimes the fit great, most of the time they don't fit so great. Spend $14 on a custom machined one and the consistantcy is always there along with the quality.
Speaking of, if anyone needs billet dome lights, billet brake line clamps or billet shock resevoir clamps, i have tons in stock from the machinest.
COOL. I'm sure we will need some of those soon.
Hey allan how about throwin a couple of those Resevoir clamps this way. Let me know how much and are they anodized or plain billet? let me know i need 4 and if the price is right then sweet.
