I dont agree with what Tresray have done to you, (Blatantly ripping you off with an exact and direct copy after agreeing to distribute yours) I think it stinks, but please dont take it out on every other brand out there who makes a part like yours (wether it be before or after you).....
Getting out of hand?? not really imho, just sticking up for the facts and what is right and correcting the wrong assumptions some of you are making or being told...
To stand there and have the front "still" to call these a copy when the idea is "proven" not to be yours amazes me, just to admit the idea was in fact not yours several posts ago would have stopped it "getting out of hand" as you say. I dont think anyone will see you as a criminal or anything for admitting you got the idea from K-Factory, since you have as you rightly say improved on it (with your wrap around style) and made it avialable for other cars now, but stop trying to insist the idea is all yours and everyone else is copying it.........
Better material - so are you still saying that you "know" that "any" of the other manufacturers you refer to do not use the same high quality materials that also resist corrosion better etc for a fact then, simple answer is you dont know this fors sure, you do know your material is very good, but cannot be sure what others are using and assume it may be inferior, so how can you claim it?
Advertising, as an advertiser on oOple, paying to sell and advertise products on the forum I guess then yes it does affect me. My point though was that your thread had been started in an open area of the forum, which is free to dicuss by all rather than in an exclusive area which it is not.
RDRP Brass, again please, please check your facts to save yourself looking silly on this, I have already said, in the other thread, that "production samples" from RDRP were in circulation (actual parts not rendered images - I have pictures here on my PC fitted to a DEX210) from late last year (yes before anyone else) and not sure if you know or not, but the owner of RDRP (Michael Vollmer) was actually the designer of the DEX210, he created the parts for the car, all of them, so when it comes to making alternatives from other materials etc why oh why would he change the design, it would be saying he got the shape or dimensions wrong in the first place if he did, and not sure then how he can be accused of copying himself in the design of them, he created the original's?? No-one is saying no-one can make alternatives, but then does the same not apply to the front towers too..... You cant have the cake and eat it..

Not quite sure where I'm getting smug?
Are they more expencive? Yes, that is what I pointed out on a thread that I started about my product. Yes I'm upset they have been copied. Would you not be?
Having said that people will make there own mind up if the others have copied what I have done.
I haven't made any claims about what others have made their products out of. I said and will do for another time that the material I chose has good corrosion resistance so doesn't need anodizing. Your the one that implied that I was saying their product was not.
RDRP, I stand corrected, so many companies names being mentioned I'm loosing track. They make the all ali front tower, Which if I wanted I could copy. Have I? No.
If you want to have a blobby fit about me not having an Advertising section that's up to you. I'll not worry about it untill Jimmy contacts me about it. After all it's his website.
As for your comments about me not having distributors etc. Again is that any of your concern? I do everything from developing to making to selling the products. Usually getting orders out the following day right up to midnight. I also have given disscount to distributors, Tresrey-usa being one of them. Look where that got me, and yourself for that matter.
Think I've covered evreything there. If not I'm sure you'll point it out.
