Rep Power: 0 FYI: About Wings West & ViS
Not sure if this went public, but 10 days ago.......West Wings officially closed operations. They were Chapter 11 for over a year and ViS bought out WW for approx $500K or so.....ViS decided to close the Mexican plant where WW was producing to open a plant states side, here in the US. ViS supposedly only shut down the productions of WW for 3 months to transfer all productions to the US.....What does this mean???
1.)ViS's prices will rise as a result of the acquisition & moving of production
2.) WW will probably be closed for longer than 3 months. I'd venture to say a year atleast....it is gonna take serious $$ to get a production plant set-up here in the US and running at full capacity.
3.)This just made the CF & body kit market a little more interesting in many ways......

Rep Power: 248 Pretty sure someone posted this 2 or 3 days ago. But I think it sucks WW is closing down. They made some great products and helped the import scene in general.
