Apc??

Why do i see all kinds of apc banners on peoples front windshield?? Are they giving away money for putting them there??? Unless they are giving you alot of money why would you put it there?? Didn't you know that apc stands for a piece of crap??

sorry just questions on my mind after a night of driving

lol. Well, a lot of import people are all against APC. For me, without APC, I would have my clear corner lenses or my side mirrors. I mean, I'm not a fan of APC, but when it comes to parts such as that, it's cheaper and is made just as well.

APC is what seperates the men from the boys. Boys run APC stickers, men dont..

APC stuff is just complete junk. Notice the majority of cars with apc crap on them (stickers and such) are p.o.s.'s owned by some broke *** goofball.

Lets put it this way, if you are broke and want a "hot" car, what are you going to do - buy a 500$ exhaust, spend 200$ on lowering springs, buy a good intake (s.ram) for 60-100$ OR Go to pepboys and buy a cheap intake, some cheap pepboy's wheel covers, and get a ghetto muffler with that stupid dualtip thing or just get a clamp-on-tip?

Obviously, bying apc stuff is by far the cheapes way to get ALOT of parts for your car, but like they always say - its QUALITY before QUANTITY (just, apc owners see it the other way around ).

Now i will admit that the clear corners and such are priced reasonably, but everytime i see a car w/APC altezzaz or clear corners, they are always full of water - cause their cheap.

not only apc makes cheap crap, they just advertise it more. Mostly because they've brainwashed all highschool ricers.

The only product of apc I have is some reverse lights. And im surprised they've lasted this long!

Dang man, my APC side mirrors - the blue tint is starting to come off of them. It's sounds right, that 1 year warranty is coming up here really soon. My clear corners are fine though. I've had them for about 9 months. They don't like and they are not full of water either. The gaps are different though. I've just noticed that after reading this thread ... I inspected my car yesterday. APC SUCKS!!! I HATE APC!!!! Anyway, about a emblem coming off in a car wash - that happened to me. I was washing my car in one of those self-wash bays. I knocked my original honda "H" off my car. So I bought a TenzoR carbonfiber/chrome emblem to replace that one. It goes pretty good with my black trim and carbon fiber side mirrors - I'm happy. Never again will buy APC products, that's for sure. Good column guys.
