I keep hearing about all of the awesome Vendors that specialize in Lightning stuff...but have any of them entered the 21st century, and developed a website to show their products?? Jeez, I've looked all over the freakin' internet for "JDM", "PSP" and others mentioned on here....Nothing, nada, zippo, zilch! All I find are phone #'s. WTF?? How the hell are you supposed to know whats available and how much it costs?? Am I supposed to just call up (long distance) and start asking for random parts....maybe they have it, maybe they don't??

ATTENTION VENDORS: I've got $$$....I want to buy MODS. What do you have to offer. Contact me, cuz I sure as Hell can't find YOU!!

Spending money shouldn't be this hard.

Thanks for the links. I'm still somewhat disappointed though. I guess I was hoping for a few more pictures and better descriptions of what I'm dropping my money on. I honestly have no idea what a 90mm "w/ boot" looks like? Or what a Filter "w/ outer wears" is compared to a "Filter Kit". I realize that, to most of you, those are basic mods that anyone can recognize.....but I've spent my time under the hoods of cars not S/C'd Trucks.

To be honest...I'd really like to deal w/ JDM...but when I go to their "section" on here....all I see is a bunch of "Me too's" asking for product pricing. Wouldn't it be easier to just post a price list on the board and have it permanently posted at the top of that Forum Section??

I guess I'm just spoiled w/ the availability of F-Body/Mustang parts. Competition dictates that suppliers/vendor make their wares as accessible as possible to the consumer.

Regardless....Thanks for your help Incon/TommyL/Dr. D. :D

yea

That's what I meant by if you keep looking. If you scroll PAST the Lightning forumm on the main SVT forum page you'll see JDM Engineering and there is a list posted there. I did the same thing and got boxed on the ears for not looking around before asking the same question 50 people before me asked, and at least one after me (you).

Agree with Ebbsnflows. Trying to get information about JDM products is a pain in the arse. If you go to the JDM engineering section you don't get a price list or pictures, you just get a bunch of threads and you have to try and guess which ones, if any, have the information you are seeking. Ditto for the new products section. I opened a thread there titled "product and price list" and all I got was a bunch of people requesting to be e-mailed or faxed same. If you want pictures of the products you have to hope that some customer will post them for you. I really want to order some of Jim's stuff, but getting information about them is almost more than I can bear. Hell of a way to run a business, if you ask me.

The reason Jim doesn't have a website is because I let him down back in April.. I tried to go up to jerzee and make a access db and a storefront but I got really sick half way up.. Jim is 100% Stand up guy and i'm sorry I let him down.. I'm gonna try and make it up sometime.. Jims products speak for themselves and he's a very stand up guy. He's busy tuning the hell out of cars, trucks, and making great products and answering questions all day..

Great Sig. Wonder why there's no yellow L? I saw a picture of one in an ad in the back of Fast Fords.. was gonna get one 'til I found out there wasn't one.

Ebbnflows- used to live out that way-Landover, used to go to the Landover Mall when it was new-yep-I'm old as dirt. I lived in District Heights. We used to race on Brown Station rd. in Upper Marlboro. Ran over my first rabbit there.

In case you don't know, SVT thought about making the yellow Lightning in 2000, but it was a toss up between that or silver....they went w/silver. The yellow one you saw was probably the prototype they built when they were trying to decide.
(hope this helps)

I was wondering what a yellow lighting looked liek so I d/l that pic and just made one in photoshop.. I don't like the Zinc
Yellow near as much as the chrome yellow. (Think there differant :confused: ) but i'd love to see a yellow lightning.. Hopefully they add it in 2004 or whenever there changing the design?
