And I suppose it's just human nature to blame others when you lose money on a deal, but to take full credit for everything when you make it.

Agree - and BTW I have had nothing but great support from David and his guys.

The OP here knew what he was buying going in - yes aluminum is softer than steel and it dents and scratches. You polish it out (not that hard) or you live with the road scars (badge of honor). Take some responsibility here and quit moaning because you didn’t make a profit.

My Kirkham was in the shop last year for maintenance, minor upgrades and new tires. Eleven years after purchase, David replaced a not-so-inexpensive non-Kirkham manufactured part “under warranty.”

Outstanding support over the years.

BTW, does Carlos take vacations to the SF Bay Area?

Over the past many years I have purchased cars, and many parts from David
(Kirkham Motorsports), never a problem.
If something was not right David always went out of is way to correct the issue.

I have been to there workplace a couple of times, I was treated with the utmost respect and very much enjoyed myself.

Other members of his staff went out of there way to talk and give support and answer any questions I had for them.

Unlike other vendors in this car community it has been my experience Kirkham Motorsports is a stand-up company to do business with.

Thank you David

This sort of thing pops up every view years. But, the truth is, if you've been in the same business for decades, and you have customers lined up waiting for your product, then you're probably not screwing people over even intermittently -- much less on a regular basis. Everybody hates to lose a buck on a deal, but it happens. And nobody hits them out of the park every single day. Just pick up the pieces, and move on....
