Default ScionPro Written by 12 Year Old AOL Chat Kids?

Has anyone looked at the products at this site? The site seems OK enough, until I went to read some product descriptions... OMG.

http://www.scionpro.com/cart/product...roducts_id=469

Dis is HOT!!!! Watch your red coolant flow like a lava stream during da day and Bada Bing! light it up at night! Dats right this is the hotest Scion product on da market distributed exclusively by Scionpro Inc.and produced by Killer Glass. Made of high tech clear pyrex glass and mounted using sections of your existing hose on each end for flexability this baby lets you watch your coolant flow and lights it up at night for a bright red glow with L.E.D's impregnated in the glass! Dis will definitely score some serious points at a show and wit you friends!

Check dis out! No more ugly calipers or cheesy lookin' painted calipers! Make your calipers look as smooth as the rest of your ride with custom made caliper covers! Mounted with VHT super stick these babies won't come off! This will definitely score some points at the show and with your crew! Comes complete with mounting kit. $135 for da pair!
(as a side note... $135 for caliper COVERS?!)

So not ALL of the descriptions are written like that - I think some are copied from the manufacturer's site depending on the product... but WTF is going on with this? I wouldn't buy the stuff just because it looks like some 12 yr old wrote them to be "cool."

LOL, those are funny. I would never buy anything from them if they write descriptions like that. If they don't take the time to make their descriptions sound professional, I would venture to guess that their business practices are also not very professional. Just a thought.

And yea, $135 for caliper covers is highway robbery. Costed me $15 and a couple of hours of dremeling the casting marks off my calipers and I think mine look a lot better than those overpriced covers.

Yea, I agree that they are probably a good company with good customer service, etc. But when I see stuff like that, it shows they don't take time to look over their descriptions and make them sound professional. Granted, they probably copied and pasted the descriptions from the company's site, but they could have modified it a little bit to make it sound better.

Those ones I think were NOT copied and pasted from another site. They seem to be their own. There are others that seem normal sounding... but these make me want to not buy anything from them ever.
