5 Zigen | 01-15-2010 10:28 AM | honestly, this is such a drama for the past year and I personally is still doing business with AJR just because of the benefits of the doubts.
When everyone thinks everything J's says is right, and they failed people who stands for AJR, this is just like little kid hear something bad about a person and automatically thinks that person is BAD...:confused:
When the very first time I saw those pictures, first thing I wondered is: if they are going to copy something, why wouldn't they copy it to 95% if not 100%; that is so off to a point I wouldn't say pictures would tell, it just looks like two seperate brand product that somewhat looks similiar. This is not the way people copy brand name handbag / clothings etc, right? who would buy it?
Thru out the years I think T1R is doing not bad (even tho not my personal fav), I would get Spoon / Mugen parts for my beloved EK yet I would never get J's; it has been like knock off quality with a superior LOOK when it's NEW, yet good luck after a short while...but what does this post has to do with T1R?
I am not standing on neither side of J's or AJR, just a personal thought why J's wouldn't know AJR is selling their so called "fake" exhaust for like 2 years+, and wouldn't say a word until they got a new distributor in the states then everything just seems so "out of nowhere" and they became the victim. Don't forget, internet is a really quick place to spread the words, I'm sure people in Japan would have noticed such an issue within less than 3 months!? It's just a little bit too much of a coincident to me.
I'm sure there is a reason why AJR didn't say a word on here as they should be some legal actions taking in between the two business?! it's funny when J's racing statement says the issue should notify Anthony, it's like an elementary school teacher wants to interview a student's parents...:haha:
I really hope the issue can be settle then we will know who is right, who is wrong soon...but one day AJR is still around, that mean we should still give them the benefits OF the doubts because I'm pretty sure if they really MADE those FAKE exhaust, after almost a year J's should be able to knock them out of business long time ago...
come on guys, it's good for everyone to know such an issue but shouldn't we look for the outcome for this lawsuit first? we are not a judge or anything and I'm sure there will be people who is happy with this local shop but not happy with others, or happy everywhere else yet not with this local shop; I'm a licensed mechanic as well and I truely understand lots of the time one just can't make everyone happy ~ some people would think one does good work and is willing to pay more; some people would think one is expensive and he doesn't care how well you did the job for him ~ you are just expensive; some people wouldn't even care about what you did and they just paid for the agreed price (which of course, lots of the time I can see that's a rip off!)
cheers up everyone and I'm really waiting to see the outcome for this issue, as per J's described! Yet it could be a long and lasting one, it could be boring at the end (cause we are already too excited now)...;) |
