I've seen ACS in person. I have not seen these in person. But if I did see them in person, would I be on Aisle 6 at AutoZone? Maybe. |

Impressive that you buy Brunello. Some people don't dig that style. And then some of us prefer bespoke instead of off-the-rack or made-to-measure. |

What you see as "all up AC Schnitzers Schlong," I see as contributing factual information to the forum. Nothing that I have written in this thread can be disputed. Why? Because though I do not work for ACS, I am in the industry and have worked with them as well as other legitimate tuners since 1997. I have used their parts on my personal cars and have been on the manufacture's side of the European aftermarket for decades. I have driven in AC Schnitzer race cars around the ring, Mr. Stig. So what are your qualifications and contributions to this forum again? |

Is BMW M Performance 2F2F, JDM parts as well? Available at Autozone? If my last question is ridiculous, you might be starting to understand. |

I did not make comment on M Performance accessories for the G8x. But others have and consider it to be 2F2F. Don't know what to tell you there 🤷🏻. Do agree that it's both subjective and comparative. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. |

When people say PepBoys parts, they are not referring to quality, but rather to a design ethos of accessories that pervade the parts sold there. While the ACS design may not be that offensive, it is simply a comment on the design. I don’t think anyone here is trying to say ACS parts are cheap knock-off, or not properly engineered, mainly because we all know otherwise. Using your fashion analogy, I often see hideous designs from high fashion brands that are known for their quality. Doesn’t diminish the quality of product, just the visual appeal.

I don't expect everyone to understand, nor do I pretend that everyone will like 100% of the program. I'm a fan of ACS parts, and I would not do 100% of the program. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just hard to see comments that are misrepresenting the brand and giving false perceptions. |

I understand your frustration as a passionate fan of the brand. I’m just trying to bring in a little different perspective on the discussion here, and hope to lighten the mood a bit. I think we can all agree the parts will be very high quality fit and finish. Expensive? Yes, but certainly high quality. Functionality? Well, the aero parts are likely moot at street speeds, but I’m sure they offer some advantages on a track. The other stuff is likely the same from a pure performance standpoint. The looks…well…we may all agree to differ…and that is ok.

Just wanted to show a post I did 7 years ago on this forum with the very same topic... nothing has changed, if anything it is way worse now.
