That has to be the gayist petition I have ever seen. Is this real? I don't have one of they're products but I would have to say that somebody has WAY to much time on they're hands. These people should work on banning vibrators so it might increase they're chance of getting laid.

If you want to be taken seriously... have someone proof read your petition next time, it would have had a bigger impact.

"They are proven to be unsafe, ugly, and poor quality."


Therefore, they should be banned...
If people banned everything that was ugly, there would be a major problem...
LOL...

I have an APC exhaust tip. It was $19.99, is 100% stainless and has a 2.5" inlet and a 3" rolled angled outlet. It is a far cry from rice and I like it!

It is also a weld on tip, not a screw on tip. And the price was just right!

Other than that, I don't think I'll be buying any fire extinquishers, Z-24, Honduh, or GT-R emblems off of them. Or any blue, green, red, or orange bulbs off of them. But to try and ban a company for making a profit off of the uninformed or unknowledgable. That's just plain crazy. I actually applaud a company who can do what they are doing.

Also think about the people who work for APC who aren't the corporate @$$holes that decide how to maunfacture crap. I would say most of the employess probably do their job and go home. They don't deserve losing their job b/c the company they work for sells $hit.

On a less serious note, I always have a good laugh when I see some ricer going down the road in an APC Rice-Patty. I mean come on... with all the weight they add with all the stickers, badges, and ugly/unnecessary lights,etc., they have to have more power. Lemme tell ya, those badges add a lot of torque too! lol I personally will never taint my car with the likes of APC, but leave 'em be....

I think that some of the points are valid like the tail lights and stuff like that, but they are right. Have someone proof read the petition first so it hits larger and makes it sound more viable or realistic than it does now. They are going to laugh at that unfortunatly.

actually......

this is from another board

<<<
i suggest you all read that thread over on Hondavision (link i posted earlier). One of the reps from APC emailed p1mpslap and told him they were getting their lawyers and fining him for using the logo. P1mpslap is the one that started the APC petition or whatever. Gay as that petition is, APC didnt handle it too well.

yeah..that was me. :) i can link the thread over on hondavision if need be. Junior Nguyen from APC decided to email the owner of traysliders.com and tell him APC was going to fine him for using their logo. Basically corporate bully tactics. Well, he proceeded to receive about 20 or so emails from people that work in the field of law (from hondavision) and he basically dug himself a hole. Pretty funny.

Not only do you not have a sense of humor, but you don't have a brain either. I mean come on, "with all the weight they add with all the stickers, badges, and ugly/unnecessary lights, etc"......
Not that I like badges or altezzas, but how much weight can stickers or badges add? 10, 11oz??? And the last time I checked, whenever ricers install altezzas, they take the stocks out.

Someone has a very hard time discerning what is sarcasm and what isnt. Why dont you remove you head from you ass and think before you say something to make yourself lok just as stupid? Fuck you

BTW, I was referring to altezzas. Looks like you need to be awarded your "ass award".

did anyone actually read the article on Speedoptions.com? the recall is for non-compliance w/ the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. what is that you ask? here ya go:

Standard No. 108 - Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment - Passenger Cars, Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, Trucks, Buses, Trailers, (except pole trailers and trailer converter dollies), and Motorcycles (Effective 1-1-68 for vehicles 2,032 mrn (80 or more inches) in width and Effective 1-1-69 for all other vehicles)
This standard specifies requirements for original and replacement lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment. Its purpose is to reduce traffic crashes and deaths and injuries resulting from traffic crashes, by providing adequate illumination of the roadway, and by enhancing the conspicuity of motor vehicles on the public roads so that their presence is perceived and their signals understood, both in daylight and in darkness or other conditions of reduced visibility

the biggest prob is w/ the altezzas NOT have side reflectors in 'em like OEM does. also APC altezzas have been known to have crappy seals. if this petition were more geared toward safety rather than "banning rice" then perhaps he/she might have more than a pithy 665 signatures. personally i think APC and others should focus their attention on quality and not quantity. but who am i...just another "ricer" i guess.
