Who would buy a not complete SC kit? I can understand if you got it for a steal.
Which shows, you get what you pay for.

SSR went under a while ago too
But Tanabe ended up buying them out, so their wheels are still available.

Seriously they should! If they knew that today was going to be the official announcement day, it should have been posted on the website immediately.

They should at the very least fill all outstanding orders, continue running their customer service for at least a few months, and honor all warranties and core charges (for the differentials and supercharger pulleys) before they completely clost their doors... and they should post what they are going to do about these issues on the front page of their website. Something tells me they won't do it that way though.
That would be nice, but I think they have other things to deal with then updating their website. Not to mention they probably can't afford to hire a webmaster to update it in the first place.

As for the second part, I don't think they care too much about customer service at the moment. They are closing, not like they need to keep a good name.

Don't forget Aaron had bought his kit from Skip. So I can see the issue. Hope you can get the parts you need Aaron.

He was running AEM EMS and thus completely forgot about it. I've had it sitting in my room for months not noticing that it was missing either. I only recently discovered it when I was taking inventory prepping for the install finally. Very understandable situation.. no reason to question me buying it this way.

I've had PMs already from people that saw my post in the other thread offering theirs since they are running standalone EMS as well.
