It seemed like they were just starting to pick up in the states with the introduction of the Chrysler 300 bodykit about a year ago...guess it didn't sell too well? Sad to see such a promising company go under...especially when you're a big fan of their products.

This is pretty disturbing news, yet again. I almost went with their LS460 kit instead of Prussian Blue (ordered PB after I found out theirs kit). I hope somewhere along the line, the increase presence in the knock off industry has nothing to do with this.

That's unfortunate. The market is flooded with so many aftermarket companies right now. I hope it's not a trend.

Yea I know the site is still up, I was going to even order parts from them. As far as the blog goes, go to the site and contact the person who posted it. Bulletproof is a vendor here on CL and the blog is on their site.

i think they did. their ad wasnt on the VIP CAR nor VIP STYLE and their name wasnt on that black/white manufactrer's list either and VIP car owners in japan were talking about it then.

should have stayed with JP .

The site still ups doesn't mean anything. If I recalled, when SSR filed bankruptcy, its website continued to run for a good two months. I will try to confirm this tonight.
