BPP, DTH, B&A, etc. Are any of you making an effort to advertise overseas and/or are you picking up any overseas orders through other sources? Just curious, as the dollar exchange rate is so low your products seem to be really competitive with their EU-made counterparts.

Our parts are being sold through Smart Parts Direct in the UK.
7 Years ago, we were doing a lot of VW parts and selling thru billetandacrylic.co.uk. At that time the economic situation was reversed. The dollar was very strong against the pound, and when their VAT was added, the prices were far too high. The parts were well received but too expensive for the average guy.
Its a much better economic enviroment for us now.
