APC.. why American Products in Japanese Cars?

Here is my problem.. is it just me, or does it bug the shit outta you when you see an Import Car, with APC (American Products Company - or whatever)....

I thought imports loved imported stuff... like hey man I got an JDM SR20DE yesterday! Sweet...... everyone feels special about that right?
WHy do people put on American stuff? "hey man, check out my new American Products Company sticker and neon bulb!"

Wtf am i talking about.... here I go again....

But does anyone somewhat remotly agree....

my only reason is... Patriotism..

I agree and find it kind of funny.If you really want to have it known you like "American Products",why are you driving an import?Plus, most of APC's stuff isn't even made in America! It's Chinese or from some other SE Asian country.Plus, anyone who really knows their stuff about cars will laugh at you for that sticker anyways since most of it is just cheap crap and knock offs of better brands.

even if they changed it to JPC, that is still ghetto.

APC is by far the shittiest brand of shit i have ever had the displeasure of using. i have only bought 2 products from APC and both sucked immensely. the xenon turn signal bulbs required modification of the socket terminals so that they would touch the bulb base, otherwise it wouldnt work. i also had the rice lights (windshield sprayer lights) for a while, until i realized they were so played out, so i didnt use them for a while, and eventually one blew out, so now im back to the better looking stock sprayers. in my mind, APC is the riciest brand of products, the other day i went into pep boys and the APC aisle now has like banners and overhang shit going over the aisle, to attract more stupid ricers, i almost threw up

The thing that really gets me about it is that the APC crap has displaced real performance products like Holley Carbs and Edelbrock intakes in some parts stores.Yeah, carbs are old tech, but at least they perform a function of making the car faster!The performance parts section odf the store should be filled with things that make cars faster-not ricier!
