Anybody have any experience with these guys?

I can't seem to get a straight simple answer out of them...they only seem to give me half an answer and then talk about something way more expensive.

I bought a door popper kit from them, there service was terrible tho....I received the popper kit and the brain didnt work, so i called customer service....i waited for 2 hours :( but the door popper kit works fine now that i put grease in the popper solenoids so they dont rust, so im mostly happy

What about their airlines? I've been thinking about using their airlines and quick fittings for my horns and my on-board air.

I just don't trust them now. Even in the online written stuff...they claim 1/4" line doesn't have nylon reinforcement and its junk...but yet thats what they offered me for my kit. I asked if I could get 3/8" and they told me "no"

Thanks Jim, and as for there fittings and air line I've used it on a customers truck before that they brought the kit to me. (we had to mod the crap out of it just to make it work cause he didnt have any more money to put into the truck, and i will never do that kinda thing again.) but anyways there fittings leak like crazy, at least the ones we were brought did.
