I understand it's function, but ppl like you who do not go out and buy parts from retailers who support the scene are a big reason the scene is dragging!Originally Posted by simontibbett
When you buy a lip from home depot the company that makes lips for miatas isn't seeing any money. So you're buying products from a company that isn't helping the import scene, not advertising in mags, nor forums, nor setting up vendor booths. So you're leaving the company that makes quality parts for your car out to dry and they're suffering, and since they're suffering they haev no money to advertise or to setup vendor booths at local events which perpetuates the cycle.
