Copying the control box developed by Keizo in Japan is the issue.

Zach, I don't think Lawrence is attempting to sell the kit (just help people out). It honestly would be stupid to attempt to sell a "OEM" paddle shifter kit because the Works Bell kit (which was in the works when you were attempting to offer your kit) is available for a very minimal pice.

Hey man thanks but no need to defend me..This has come from Me being a D!ck and from the brake bracket being made..I offered my box which as far as I know not from Keizo I knew it was made by somebody else in Japan.

I also was told Zack stopped making these because of the way people on here were acting about it. I don't know if that is true or not. Thing is this thread had great timing right after the fall out from the bracket and me offereing my box up as a D1ck would do.(that is me). I need the attention. This is my doing and mine alone and oh well. I know what is coming and I know how posts will be made after mine or in my threads. Oh well so be it..
Mistake made was not contacting Zack(my Bad)..Guilty as charged...fvck it...

I don't understand how it's such a huge deal. Def. not worth getting this pissed off about.
Products get copied everyday...

Richies strut bar looks exactly like the arc/nrg bars
Eric's kits are basically exact copies of authentics
Xo2 exhaust is almost exact copy of HKS
grounding kits, grills...etc.

If someone buys a product, you cant control what they do with it, how they use it, or who they let borrow it.

Ok....here we go!

You know I respect both of you guys and really dislike that you've chosen
Driver to air your differences. I refuse to get between guys that WERE good
friends regardless of the issues! Knock it off, you're scaring the kids....

Actually, I think Richie allows NRG to sell his bar with the NRG name. OEM type agreement.

Well can't make what is done undone.

JBALLA as soon as I get settled in I will send you my entire paddle shifter set up. You can make everything you need.Please make the design different and not a exact copy. Give me a few weeks though..

I honestly don't see a big deal with the control box thing. From what I could tell before I installed my kit it is pretty standard and utterly simple. Even the Works Bell one is pretty simple and can accommodate most recent japanese cars. It honestly doesn't seem to be that hard to design. The flip key mod with working buttons looks honestly harder to do (I tried and failed....hardcore lol).
