<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by itr206 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">they are not unwarranted attacks. You stated you had those for sale, i didnt say anything about that. I said we have a set too like the STR one. but i just cut holes in mine. You asked why the guy was offering free mods rather than selling product and i deffended him stating making money isnt everything to everyone on this site. Sounds like you are getting wayyy too offended.On that other post it got to that level becuase that stupid women thinking she knows about situations that she doesnt and turning it into something else. I didnt say anything at 1st. i was just stating after all that has happened that that dash wa snot hard to install and wasnt heavy as you said and wasnt clear coated and blinged up as you put it .
Im not gonna get into a whos dick is bigger contest with you. If you are getting at the owners banning me over you getting upset becuase i pointed out a fact to you then fine . But i have probably shelled out more money to the sponsors on this site then you have sold product probably in the whole year.

btw, what Hondas were you supping up in the 80's?. . . know what never mind. Ill let it go at that, i might offend someone else and get booted. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Who exactly were you refering to???? It seems unfortunate that you are unhappy enough with yourself that you assume that because someone happens to have both an X & a Y chromosome that they cannot possibly have an opinion or know anything about cars, engines, or racing in general. (whether you were refering to me or to SPDRCRGRL, since it appears we were the only women posting) I believe that since you do not know either of us you owe us an appology...

Adam once again was not trying to start a pissing match and once again it has turned in to one. Everyone on this board IS entitled to there own opinion, the last time I checked we were still in the USA and if someone wants to promote their product, by all means go ahead. It is a free country and free trade and commerce are part of what this country was founded on, Sell what you want, be proud of what you do, have your own opinions, but remember that occasionally you need to learn when to keep your mouth shut.

i dont remember if it was you or the other one , but it doesnt really matter, its not relevant here. Let it go at that , i explained myself and now you jump in to make sure issues go unresolved and get worse like the last post. I have no apologies to make i stated a fact in defense to another gentlemen that was trying to treat someone as a friend and not just a customer to make money off of. if you wanna leave it at that, im fine , but will not retract my statements nor am i apologizing. i didnt say anything false or detrimental to your company. we can leave it at that or keep the post going ? either way i got plenty of time.

You know what? You have some mightly screwed up brain waves, that is if you can actually call them that. As a matter of fact it is relevent. I do not believe that any one has attacked your IQ level, maybe they should though. No one ever asked you to attack anyone but you once again have anyway. You may have been making a vain attempt to 'Defend' yourself but you did not need to bring anyone else in to this. I do not need to continue this any further nor do I expect some child to appoligize for speaking out of turn, my 5 yr old has more manners than you do. Myself nor Spdrcrgrl never even mentioned you. Nor did any of our posts attempt to do anything negative. We too were just offering other options.

Neither of us has anything to do with RacePlates, yes I do happen to know Adam we went to High School together and he is my Father's RacePlate Rep. That is it, maybe you should go back and reread the posts you have put up and realize the you are the one that keeps starting the pissing matches. All that anyone else has done is offer the options, Adam is not forcing anyone to BUY anything. Neither am I. OMG I am in the Mortgage business, you know houses not cars.

Maybe if you are so unhappy with someone trying to offer options of products that they happen to sell you should opt out of this board. Or at least sign off until you gain enough Maturity to actually participate in a thread without getting 'Defensive' and offend the rest of us on this board with your STUPIDITY.

Enough said I believe, I will not continue to waste my time with someone of your level but I could not let you continue to think that you were with out fault. The reason the issues were going unresolved as you put it were totally due to you feeling that you had to 'Defend' yourself. You started it, I JUST ENDED IT.

I dont see how this is still an issue . like i said i had no intention of it getting like that. But when someone is trying to help and then Raceplates jumps down his throat for not trying to sell him something . thats bullshit. Like i said i do not wish to continue on this. i said my peace. If you wish to keep going. rock on. like i said i got time. I will not resign or log off. i shouldnt need to.

Im not even gonna read all that garbage, but lemme lay this down.

Adam @ Raceplates is definately not a ******** and hes there to help...plus being very knowledgeable. Their products are top-notch and priced well.

As far as the bumper thing goes, I have bigass holes cut in my rear bumper and will probably be picking up a CF Diffuser from Raceplates...because they look alot better.

I've got a 2 piece rear bumper diffuser 4 sale if anyone's interested. comes with allan screws and nuts. its brushed aluminum not polished(bling) Made by Ichibahn, yeah i know rice. but it doesn't have an Ichibahn logo on it its just plain. If i don't sell it i'll probably put it on my EH2. When u guys put these on your cars or just drill holes in your bumper, do u remove the rear bumper support? my car is my everday car so kinda scared to remove mine, but i thought it might be an eye soar with a diffuser?????????

I wouldn't tell anyone to remove the bumper supports, but I was in similiar accidents with and without the front bumper support, and both were equally damaging. Those mainly are for 5 mph or less love taps and if your car is lowered you'll probably end up under the other car anyway and the bumper support won't help that much. Although in the rear a small fender bender may result in your frame being bent and your car being totalled.
I have the front on and the back off right now, I havent been hit in the rear yet though, so we'll see.

how about instead of being a bunch of little sissies about all this, just get a fiberglass sheet and mount it under your bumper to prevent air from even getting trapped under your bumper in the first place.

Here is our new carbon fiber SLIPSTREAM diffuser. For those that need the more traditional shape. They feature slight elipse shaped cutouts. I know some people aren't fond of the other design. This certainly looks better than a cut bumper cover IMO.


Our diffusers now come with black powder coated rivets. Try finding those at your local hardware store!


and of course install instructions.

One last thing. We offer custom cut diffusers with logos/race team names etc. IM me for details.

That looks great. How thick is it? Are the holes for the rivets predrilled in the diff.?

Thanks. They are about 1/16" thick. Which is enough since carbon is so stiff. The holes are not pre-drilled.

Those new ones look great.

For custom ones do you use a AutoCAD .dwg file and dxf it to a cnc type machine? How much for a custom on if I send you the file?
