JL Customers PLEASE READ!

I would first of all like to make an Apoligy to all of my customers! It looks like i won't be selling the BABOLT Throttle Bodies. We started seling his T.B. about 3-4 weeks ago with NO problems at all! Now Another Company has Convinced BABOLT NOT to sell to JLperf. NO MORE! or anyone else! I guess they feel this is the way to keep your COMPETITION Out of the Market! I am very Sad to see this kind of thing begin to happen in our lightning comunity. Companies Trying To Monopilize the market! I must say i'm very SHOCKED that BABOLT decided to do this. since WE were already doing buisness. but hey i guess thats the way it goes! i tried my best to talk him into changing his mind but to no avail! If my customers decide to go to the other source that has kept me from getting these T.B.'s thats up to you its your choice. but i would like to ask if you would reconsider it for awhile because now i'm FORCED to get my own T.B.'s Made. which i have a company working on right now! And i promise they will be considerably lower in cost! With equal qaulity or better! I must say ive learned alot of vaulable lessons since i started making products and doing buisness with the lightning community! I Learned even when you have the best intentions to help sell other products and help them make money to. it becomes a headache! I really hope that BABOLT would reconsider his decision understanding that he would only do better selling his products to everyone! Not Just To 1 Individual! No matter how many promises they make! My customers can expect us here @ JLP to give you all a phone call explaining this situation and we hope you understand! Thank You very much! and if any ? please call or e-mail JL

That is horrible that BABOLT is allowing this. It will be his loss in the end because I for one only purchase from JLP. So with that statement it goes without saying I will be waiting to hear about your throttle body.

Unhappy that sucks

but hey if it motivates others to start offering these type of products the end users will almost alwas benefit.

since there is nothing else thats polished under the hood how much would an unpolished modified t/b really cost?

please keep us posted how your new source turns out

Thumbs down

Johnny, that's pretty crappy if you ask me, glad you voiced your thoughts though, because I was considering selling them too. I guess my decision was made for me .

Ok, this has the look of a thread that could turn ugly really fast, but I understand the need to vent. JL, might I suggest that you post a "statement" of some sort on your website about this and direct people to it? This could turn into a tuner war very quickly, for obvious reasons and I think it is in everyone's best interest that I close it before it does. If you want to discuss it, please drop me a note offline. Thanks!

Steve
