in the $450-$550 range would fetch a used one though, but there are not too many that come up for sale - cetainly not a common part

lol then i guess im getting a hell of a deal from my friend who tells me his dad is a friend of the co-owner of ARC.

I'm so JDM my sn is laksjd84:

I thought you only paraded around on G35driver about how JDM you are. I didn't realize it trickled over here as well lol. My friend of a cousin of a brother of some JDM homie also knows the other co-owner. Seriously, you're better off just starting a lucrative business to benefit from your apparent connections rather than flexing your uber JDM muscle to people on the internet that don't give a damn.

Im so gansta that I spell dog with two g's.
when did i parade around flexing my "jdm" muscle? Im just stating what is true. you dont have to be an @ss about it because you paid more than i did to get your parts to become a "ARC ***** army" and make a thread about it lol.
No one here nor g35driver is complaining like a girl other than yourself. FYI, I actually use the so called "connection" to help out lots of people on G35driver. ask the mods about it.
Dont be an *** and mind your own business.

I'm not sure what a "gansta" is, but I guess you needed two G's afterall. One for "dog" and the other G to fill in the blank for your failed attempt at a bag with a typo lol.

I don't want to crap on this entire thread, but I can assure you that within this link that there is proof of how much of a douche you are. To the boasting of how low of a price you can get ARC stuff for as if anyone cares to calling people rice when in fact you admit yourself that you are rice for just wanting to put ARC ti tips on your OEM Exhaust.

http://g35driver.com/forums/search.p...8&pp=25&page=2

My preference to ARC products has nothing to do with you nor does it involve your assumed jealousy of the pricing you apparently receive. You have no clue where I purchased my items, how much I paid for them, and most importantly it does not matter to anybody on this site minus one person, which is yourself since you love stroking your back about your lame ARC connection/pricing.

You're talking to a respected vendor on this site with hundreds of successful transaction with a childish and condescending tone, so you expect otherwise? Mind your own business, purchase your ARC items at your "awesome price", and stop shoving your special ARC pricing down everyone's throats as if we really cared kid.

boy, I don't know why it is so hard for you to understand the whole issue. seems like you are the only one still whining about my "tone" in talking to a respected vendor? WTF? if the respected vendor is not having problem with my "tone" then why are you getting all bitchy about it? maybe he's a guy that actually understand the concept of other people having their own opinion and saying? Why are you stalking me? Do you really have nothing to do other than quoting my threads and posts from other forums and wasting your time? Why are you talking out of your *** for him? please stop, it makes you look more like a douche.

And who are you to say that its rice to install ti-tip on my exhaust? If one member wanted to install a completely non-functional modification to their own car so be it who cares what other people think? Ignorant person like you makes this whole G/Z community seem like full of d-bags. like I said, mind your own damn business and stop worrying about what other people are doing do THEIR OWN CAR.

And I still don't understand why you think I "boast" about ARC price? When have I ever done that? All I did was telling how I get my items. If the above comment I made initially to your vendor got you angry and pissed, then i apologize. Happy now? please stop crying. why are you being oversensitive like a little *****? goddamn it, I usually don't go off on other people especially online, but this is fkin ridiculous. what the hell is your problem?

And lastly, learn some manners. If you don't like what other people do/say on this forum or any other online community, don't blow it up so everyone can see it. there is a feature called PM you know.

Maybe the vendor is celebrating Christmas and/or doesn't want to speak openly on how they truly feel on certain subjects that are not worth discussing since a positive view from forum members is more important to them. As a vendor that caters to a lot of my350z members, it just makes sense that dollars are worth more to them than dealing with people like you. Luckily for me, x-mas is already over where i'm at.

Get over yourself. I'm not stalking you. I read driver threads from time to time and I just recalled you posting about the ARC ti tips. It takes 2 seconds to copy and paste your screen name under the search function. It isn't rocket science. I personally don't care, what you do to your car but I find it ironic that you call me ignorant and stating that I should mind my own business about other people's cars when you did the same exact thing quoted below. Hypocrite much?

Here is just an excerpt of your lame boasting. I'll just quote this so you have a chance to save face by editing all of your posts lol:

You usually don't go off on people? What happened below in your classified ad? Yet it is okay for you to jump in to people's classified ads commenting on prices and adding your unnecessary 2 cents?

Likewise my friend in regards to manners. However, I suggest picking up a dictionary and taking a 2nd course in Rosetta stone on English as it clearly shows as your second language or it may just reflect your level of education. I'll PM you if I am looking for some mad tight JDM hook-up prices lol. It looks like you are not only a self esteem lacking individual, but also delusional at the same time as proven above in contrast to your last post here on my350z. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. It's nice to know that driver will have to deal with you instead.

Back to the Final Flag vs. ARC FSB.

You could always buy the ARC and anodize the strut bar yourself .. It's not particularly difficult..

Although it looks okay, IMO it doesn't look as professional as how it comes from the factory. I've seen others try to do it as well and i've yet to see an ARC piece that was "burned" just as nice as other parts from Japan directly. A perfect example is not many people could duplicate the burns on an Amuse Exhaust. Although it can be mimicked it is not exactly the same process. Plus, the FF bar also comes in a polished ti finish on top of it.
