Title: Polarbeartuning is closing the doors at the end of this year
Post by: chris on September 13, 2010, 05:46:14 AM

Thats it was good run but I'm selling off what ever is left and throwing in the towel. Whatever is left on the shelves is all that is left. Once its gone it's all gone.



Thanks to all who supported my products over the years.

Nope after much thought my heart is not in it anymore enough to watch myself and people I work with on a daily basis struggle to stay afloat.



Regarding when to get stuff done by, my lease is now month to month. I'm hoping by the end of this year I'll clear out most of the big stuff that will most likely be it.

I understand. People who love their jobs and make a lot of money are extremely fortunate.

Yeah, the honda scene in CA died arond 04-05.  After that there was no more money to be made in hondas, china fucked it up aswell.  Before 04 it was easy to sell a intercooler for 200-300 and a mianfold for 300-1k.  Now shit is dirt fuckin cheap and dirt quality products aswell.

Look on the bright side...  Polar bears are more bad ass than they've ever been because of you. :P

Sorry to hear about the impending closure.  The fact is, though, when you stop doing it for work, it becomes WAY more fun again.  Before you sell the red rex, I have to go for a ride. 

In what direction will you be heading when you close up for good?
