Be very careful in this topic thread as you may be held liable for anything you say here. This thread was started at the request of several rodders who were taken by the same company and wanted a place to let other rodders know to avoid their same pitfalls. StreetRodding.com does not take a position either way on the validity of these posting although if there is even a question as to whether or not a post is legitimate we will usually err on the side of caution and remove the posting. As a rule of thumb, don't just take a single person's word for anything you see here. Any company that deals with hundreds or even thousands of customers can have a lapse on the phone or have a product lost in the mail or even have a vindictive poster with their own axe to grind. Ask others about their experiences and see if others come forward to say they've had similar problems. Then you know you've got a pattern.
