Re: Layson Fiasco

[Steve Chervinsky <63hemipolara@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's not a question of doing the parts, it's a question of getting
licensing from Chrysler. All the other vendors have to do it. A close
friend of mine designs products for Chrysler and has to go for
licensing approval every 2 year in Ann Arbour, MI. If they have to do
it and they do get approval then why shouldn't organizations like
Layson's have to do the same. IT's not because thye are doing it,
anyone can do it, but do it legally. Where do you think Layson's are
sourcing these parts...CHINA, where US patents and copyrights are not
recognized. Offendors should be prosecuted to the fullest as there are
other organizations who go through the right channels and are
approved. Year One's catalog is pretty thick, they had to get approval
from Chrysler, Legendary had to do the same, they did and are doing it
legally. I ordered lower patch panels from Laysons. They cost $500.
Stamped in China, they were 4" too long and the body line in front of
the wheel well did not line up with the body lines. The body man
charged me an additional $500 to work them to fit by cutting and
welding. Maybe these would have fit if they had to be approved by
Chrysler.  This is my experience.
