How come Bozz Japan and Bozz Performance here aren't doing business no more?

When BOZZ Performance was started, we worked very close with Bozz Speed japan. BP was exclusive distributors of BS parts in US. Then as time went by, BP picked up other lines from Japan (Zero Sports, Pit Road M, Kaze) which were competitors of BS for EVO, WRX and 3000GT parts. So, from business stand point, it was not right for BP to be exclusive on BS parts while distributing their competitor parts. That is why BP is no longer exclusive with BS. Up until about 1 year ago, BS had no exclusive dealer in US so anyone could buy direct from them. Now they have another exclusive distributor. The reason it is said so strong on their website, is because BS and BP have nothing really in common besides the "BOZZ" in their name. Japanese people always afraid to be associated wrongly with customers. So in order to satisfy their current exclusive distributor, that wording was added to prevent the confusion that BS=BP. Hope this makes sense.

All in all, BOSS Speed parts never sold good in US. Only 3000GT guys were buying their stuff back in 2000-2002.

We moved to a smaller place since we got overexcited with the old big place.

No, I did not install your Hypersingle. It would have been been me and I don't remember installing it for you. What car was it anyways?
