back on topic, it sucks that greddy is going under (for now). but chris (epstein) got it right, they tried to push BOVs and catch cans too much, and lost their clientele who were buying more hardcore parts.
Take economics again, i'm pretty sure that's exactly the opposite of what happened.

They probably sold ten to 20 blowoff valves for every set of pistons etc.

What happens when all the kids buy cheaper blowoff valves instead of greddy ones?

big trouble in little china.

the blowoff valves and intercoolers and exhausts were their bread and butter. and guess waht the major SS AUTOCHROME sellers were.

it sucks how companys like APC (now Pilot) is still making money selling garbage but Greddy declares bankruptcy. but maybe theres hope, something similar like this happened to Apexi a while back but theyre still around.

i still dont really see how this even matters to anyone.
places go under.
life goes on.

even if i fuck my vspl up, i wouldnt have bought another one anyway, and every greddy bov ive ever had leaks, so my opinion was never high anyway.

half yall niggas wouldnt even spend the cash on some chinese crap anyway.
im sure you can still buy greddy license plate frames off ebay
