I agree. i used to be a huge brand name backer.
then i had to build my girlfriends coupe, and she doesn't have the money for the best of the best stuff. so she spent her hard earned money where she could, Yes the car has knock off parts on it, Yes the car has Ebay junk on it. Is she/we proud of it? NO. But it's the best SHE could do at the time. she has put over $11,000 into her 240sx in the last year in parts. So even though she isn't keeping all companies afloat she did buy alot of brand name things and took the car to alot of local shops and have other people help with the car.
When/If i build a car it will be a brand name car. i don't care if i have to wait longer to get what i want done. I've noticed with my girlfriend buying some less then good parts that she should have waited and gotten better stuff, but meh, a little to late. i'm sure the "junk" parts will be taken out in favor of good brand name stuff in the future.
