He said he contacted some individuals. Tunertoys isn't a ccfab company. They've been around a while and he isn't going to risk his reputation. If something does go wrong, he'll back his product up.

We've been bitten a couple of times in the past, and ended up competing with our own products. Just know that we looked long and hard for a company who had a solid history in the Honda world. In the end, it is our reputation that is on the line, so we chose a company we could trust to supply a product worthy of our reputation.

Craig, are you trying to tell me you don't have little asian girls in your basement making block fittings? I'm dissapointed. Alright, who's makin em, fucko? 
Renr, if it makes you feel any better, the whole Stealthmode oil line kit is ordered from 5 suppliers. I don't even make my own stickers, but I'll tell ya who does.
