Hey guys, I emailed him just to see what he would have to say and asked him to look at this thread. Here is the email he sent me below:




Hello and thank you for your interest in our product. I am glad that you contacted me and I hope that this email gives you all the answers that you are looking for. You should know that apart from owning my own company I am also a Design Engineer in the aerospace industry and I specialize in creating plastic injection molded parts. I can completely understand your concern about the durability of the material because when I was searching for the best material to use I too had concerns like yours. In my searching I found that Lexan plastic claimed characteristics consistent with what I was needing for this application. Lexan has proven itself before in many applications as being extremely clear, very durable, and long lasting even at extreme high and low temperatures – it has been used on astronaut helmets and nascar windshields and even in bullet proof applications. But in my profession materials and parts must be tested to determine their true limitations, not just what they are advertised to do. So I tested the material myself and verified that the material is good up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit before it even begins to soften, it also can be torqued to 22.5 ft lbs before it begins to flex. I also submerged a spacer in engine coolant and oil for a week each and could find absolutely no visible changes. Happy with the results I decided to install a unit on a test car. The spacer installed easily and the car ran great, no leaks of any kind (our gaskets meet or exceed the specifications of the OEM gaskets). After the engine reached full operating temperature I checked the torque to see if the bolts were looser than I had tightened them (this would let me know if the engine heat and the pressure of the bolts caused the spacer to shrink in width some. The torque was the exact same – the spacer did not shrink. After this the test vehicle was subject to normal driving and hard driving conditions and the torque was checked on a weekly basis for 3 months. During that time the bolts never needed tightened, the spacer was never removed, and the vehicle never experienced any problems. After the 3 months was up the spacer was removed and the dimensions of the spacer were checked with an untouched unit – all dimensions were within the tolerances of the original part. This was very pleasing information, as it told me even after months of use the spacer never lost its shape and the plastic was holding up great. It also told me that the gaskets were functioning properly and never leaked. I could go on an on about the quality and durability of these spacers but I think they are better at selling themselves than what I can do, so what I would like to do is sell you a spacer and tell you that if you have any desire at all to return it I will do so at any point within the next year and refund you the sale price. Even if you decide that you want to sell your car or that you just don’t like my spacer, you can return it for a full refund. I can tell you with confidence that this product does an excellent job of what I designed it to do, and that’s to glow vibrantly and bring attention to under your hood. This is not a gimmick product that claims to add 20 horsepower or increase fuel economy by 10%, infact I prefer not to advertise this in that manner because that is not its intended purpose and I have never done any dyno or fuel economy testing, nor do I intend to – I think making false claims or unsubstantiated claim would take away from this product. Please feel free to message me back if you have any further questions or concerns and thank you again for your interest in our product!
