Default Re: Shiftboots.com link/thread

It's funny:

Go look at the disclaimer. It states that all images were being used with the consent of the owners of the individual cars....I highly doubt that. The white ITR on the front page was formerly owned by our own Nick Wong. The car looked like that when he owned it. The current owner of the car has now changed the rear wing on it and taken off the pin striping.

The red Mugen Prelude on the "contact us" page is most probably owned by Mugen in Japan itself. I doubt they lent the rights to use the image to sell others products. There's more....I'll let you all be the judge.

In my opinion, it seems a bit dishonest and I wouldn't trust the company. Because of that, I wouldn't trust the product...besides the site design seems to be a copy of Rick's site and seems to be focused towards the S2000 owners group....complete rip-off and unethical in my opinion.

I did a further search to see if in fact could be a Rick's creation...low and behold it wasn't. I went to "whois.net" and see that the "shitboots.com" organization is registered to a Bryan Rust of Orland Park, IL.......hmmmmmm

With permission from Mugen to host that Prelude Type S ... Hell no way, and not to mention the cut and paste is horrible. Besides, heck it's distastefully operated.
