your "S3" hose kit. It looks like a flat rubber or paint on the outside.

Default you'd take offense too if everytime a DIY anything I've made sells as the "real deal"...

and the buyers gets all pissy with you because the buyer represented it as "yours" and he (the buyer) thinks it's junk, doesnt work as-advertised or wants you (the maker/ not the seller) to fix it or make it right. Happens all the time and has for years!

Of course I take offesnse with it. Because it flagrantly affects me, my business and my reputation.

Walk a mile in my shoes before thinking this is petty behavior or I have no right to take offense or be bothered by it.

How would you feel if you caught an ebayer or Audifan selling "your" car in his ad at those places. Then multiply that by 15-20 times per year for the past 4 years. I have a right to "take such offense!"

I'm in it thick as theives now with a southern california guy that bought an XTB and an S3 MAF on Audifans 3-5 weeks ago. Only problem is guess who "didn't" make them? Yep! And the buyer thinks I should be "even more agressive in preventing this kind of fraud."

I'll send him a link to this post, see if he agrees with you.

Default Nvncibl will now sell off his AW name before he commits suicide for offending our...

Audi 90 custom parts designing/manufacturing GOD. All I can say is that you make "the shizzle" for our cars, Mance, but you gotta chill. I can understand your point but if someone in here uses the term "S3" in reference to "look" of a hose assembly for our rides, its a compliment. You'll never stop the imitators from copying you. I can honestly say that if I had the machinery and know-how, I'd copy your work, too. Its perfect... but some of us can't afford stuff at that level. I accept that the "off-shoots" will not be anywhere near equal but we can at least have hope and be happy that we made something on our own and be proud.

I'll do my best to be considerate of your non-copy written / non-registered / non-patented names for the awesome parts you make and sell. I respect the time and effort you put into advancing and improving our cars. No one else, that could do the same, care's that much anymore.

sorry man... don't flame on me.

Default nice job, what kind of paint did you use and did you put a clear coat on it after?

also, how much sanding did you do?
