What do you think many of these websites, such as SharkRacing.com, TWMPerformance.com, KSPEC.com, etc. gross a year (purely off of web sales)?

I am really curious to know a 'ball park' approximate figure. It would be fun to have your own web store I think :cool:

I have ordered from K-spec with no problems and pretty quick delivery from Korea. Ajusa is another good site to order from.

Let's say that Kspec is the best for now but still they have to clear the Redzman thing out. :confused:

Shark Racing well, I bought 7 items from them and have only two orders right :mad: but other guys seem have to no problem with them.

KFX, Seoulfulracing and DreamK4u are good ones also.

There you have an idea

In my uneducated and completely baseless opinion....I wouldn't think any of these companies are reaching millionaire status but I can imagine it may be enough to provide a decent living for a few employees. You figure that given the overall "cheap-assness" of most car modders, the small market for some of these car specific items, and the fact that most of these exhausts, intakes, etc. probably don't allow for a large mark-up for the final retail seller, these guys probably aren't getting rich by selling car parts. I do believe that since some of these guys are working out of their basement or have extremely low overhead, it may make up for the small profit involved with each sale.

Good question....I've wondered this myself. I always thought it'd be cool to feel like Nicholas Cage in Lord of War...selling illegaly imported NON-CARB approved intakes from overseas. HA

HA.

Yeah, I agree with kennef. I doubt they are making too much money. Like mentioned, perhaps TWM could be as they sell products to everyone.
