It's awesome being best friends with someone who's family owns the largest fasteners company in South Florida! LOL

Too bad they don't stock titanium. Grrr

I'm not a 'titanium' guy, I prefer the anodized screw sets Shall I anodize every last bit of metal in my car purple? I think yes..

That SS kit for the B5 looks interesting. Wonder how they put that kit together though.

Sorry, not crying. Just disappointed that once again we (americans) get the shaft. As americans, shouldn't we get to lay hands on an American car first? Do we get to lay hands on Asian, german or any other products before they do?

Don't see how you can categorize it as crying but some folks have nothing better to do I guess.

Easy, they take stock of every screw the car uses and then order a bag of every screw from a distributer like McMaster and then put together complete sets and sell at as premium. They probably spent all of $60 on screws (if that) for 100 of each and then sell each set for $20.

Stainless Steel = stripped screws. Stick with Steel or Titanium.

Thunder Tiger might be an Asian company but Associated is the American division of the company. But I guess that makes sense. I'm sure they're laughing and pointing at us right about now.

I don't know why we all want this new car when we could have this one for so much cheaper:



Thunder Tiger rebrand of the AE B2? I think yes

Now that I look at it, it kind of looks like what the Team C buggies were based off of.

Uhm, no. SS screws are excellent so long as you buy good quality stuff. Aluminum screws are what you want to stay away from.


These 2 bad boys are completely assembled with SS hardware for a reason, well 2.
