It's not AS bad as pep boys, but Autozone is bad too. I went there the other day to buy some air freshners and saw this guy bust out with 40 bucks of rice. I'm thinking to myself, "okay. he has the 'official' superstreet H-emlblem-replacer emblem, the 'R Racing' windshield banner, and the R-racing seat covers, shoulder pads, and floor mats. what a ****ing moron." I asked the clerk how they can even sell **** like that and he replied "I dunno, something about those fast n furious movies, every time they come out we sell that stuff like crazy."

Unfortunately that is what sells.....I dont understand why anyone buys any of that stuff. There is a bright Lambo orange civic 4 door near my girls house with a body kit, molded trunk, Altezzas, Painted Aluminum High spoiler, yellow tint, wipers, liscence plate frame, fast and the furious graphics, like the eclipse in the first movie....Yellow painted dash board, and yellow and black seat covers....It is nasty...but thats what some people like....Thats why all that crap sells......There is a market for anything......

really want a reason to kill yourself? Go hit Wal-Mart, they've got a F&F sub/amp package. Lightning Audio 10", box, and amp, all matched for sub specs (although it looks strangely like the universal boxes Wal-Mart also sells...hmm...) It's $160, and I don't think it has anything to do with F&F except for the packaging, but still, FOR THE LOVE OF CRAP, FIND A NEW MOVIE TO *****!!!

Even Radio Shack has stuff. I seen washer lights, keychains, strobe lights. This **** is so homo-sexual. These people will buy all this **** and then when the next 'muscle' car movie comes out they will sell their cars for some domestic iron. I figure **** it, let them buy all this gay stuff. They are only hurting them selfs. Lets see how many new people we have on this site in the next couple of months.

This is a tiny town filled with rice and before F&F came out the nearest place to fill up nitrous bottles was like and hour away at least. Now our mitsubishi dealer "Fills NOS bottles while you wait" and sell nitrous kits "starting at $695".... thats about the only good thing to come out of this. Problem is i think that there is going to be a problem with you combine rice with N20 (aside from the fact that you would probably die trying to eat it )

Hey here i Canada we have the same problem the only thing is its with Canadain Tire up here. Last wekk the flyer came in the mail and on the back page was all this same crap. Eveything from floormats to keychains, and more. Its pathetic, but oh well if its what sells then the stores will always carry it.

one good thing that comes from this is that companies (some who are very respected) that are making these "gay" products now have more research and design dollars. this is always a good for all of us. sooner or later said companies start to use the revenue from these "gay" products to design higher end stuff for us to buy for our cars. we also need to think about the more products that get sold will start to decrease prices.

just my .02 cents

Even the GI Joes here in OR sells F&F crap. My freind's little brother has (had) and totally sick black teg and then he had to go and put on yellow body graphics that say Fast and the Furious on them.

the more people but low quality stuff, then the less quality stuff there is, cause most people always go for the better deal and bitch about it when it goes bad

I would have to disagree. I did retail sales of musical instruments (which is just like retail of any other product) for 3 years (half of that as a manager). The same marketing and business structure crosses into every other form of retail. All the companies that make cheap crap realize the fact the most times that is what will generate the most revenue (through more units being sold). The revenue is then used to fund research and developement (usuaully on mid-quality to high quality products). This is why there is entry level (and crappy f&f) stuff...it boils down to making money. I my self wouldn't buy this crap, but I do understand how important it is for a company to make cheesy stuff like this in order to stay in business. Them being able to stay in business leads to developement of other high end products (for us).

Haha...***** all that. I laugh when I see that crap at Best Buy. They have it right in front of the Rockford Fosgate Subs here. Some poor chick (or dude maybe) is gonna be shoppin for a loved one and go for price because those @zzwholes at the stores sometimes know absolutely diK. The economy is all phucked up. One "performance parts" store here has all these so called performance parts in the same case as they have some fake *** gold watches. WTF!?!

Hmm, one could use this F&F crap to their advantage. Think about it like this. When you see a car all F&F'd out, first thing you think is that its rice. Looks fast( and gay) but slow as stock. Now, you could put all this crap on your actually fast car (probably not the civ) and people who actually know something about cars are going to think they would smoke you in a race. Umm, i know this isnt worded to well, but I care not. Sorry.
