    I don't know what the problem is, if it's too much, then buy somewhere else. It's good that you're comparing prices though, you're not gonna be the type of person that just goes and buys off of the first site you come to.

    Oh.....and IBTL

    the problem with this thread is perspective. if you run a company that is basically a resale company, you have to have some form of a profit margin. what makes a certain profit margin okay is that PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO SPEND THE MONEY TO BUY IT. go you for being smarter than other people and getting a better deal, but until they stop making money because people are thinking for themselves then they will keep doing it.

    suck it up.

    Don't tell everyone else or they'll stop buying from zzp, then what happens is zzp stops making turbo kits or parts in general for us. Then I can't buy those parts used for 1,000 miles and 1/2 the price from the schmuck that bought it new...

    You with us or against us? lol

    you made a post about 3 items. I'll respond about each one.

    1. The Eaton cap was not available through GM delaers. We were getting them from Eaton and selling an item that was an exclusive. I can't price something based on what GM sells it for when we don't know they sell it and are buying from someone else.

    2. Intense doesn't sell enough product to follow all of the price increases. They are selling Cometic $5 over cost. I'm sure John will thank you for your post however and I'll see to it that he raises his price.

    3. Our belt prices are lower based on your links.

    ive seen vendor prices fluxuate over time, **** happens. shipping, fuel costs, etc etc all have a part in pricing... ive shopped around on almost all the well known sites and prices are pretty competitive.

    this is like saying only get gas from this station because its cheaper by a few cents, and then next week go to another cause its cheaper. we all know to shop around and some times there is more quality with one place and it cost you a bit more. I have bought from several performace companies for my car, price was not always the main factor.

    Wow...um...that's pretty sh1tty right there. Even I have to admit that.

    As far as the Eaton part....I never knew they carried it, and even then, GM has offered that particular part since 1996-97

    Also, it should be noteworthy, that where someone may sell something cheaper on the part, the shipping probably makes up for it, and vice versa. In the end you're probably still paying about the same to get it to your door.

    Jesus, are you serious? The question isn't why would you, as much as it's why would you put that here, and in that manner? Your customer service reputation is horrid, business must be pretty good though. Especially since you seem content to place shady intentions like this for all to see. Either way, I have heard some good things about you guys too, so maybe it all evens out. This remark just seems wrong to me.
