its been known for awhile, there has been a couple of threads on it. Back then I really wanted the VRD fogs and I even talked to the people at VRD..hmm there pretty shady but any who many people who bought from VRD found out that there credit cards were charged 400+ out of no where. Something about there site being unsecured and I did some research..I found out that those guarantee hack free certificates place on most sites are garbage. If you own a business and you want one of those certificates, all you have to do is pay them and they will send you a link that goes onto your page. It doesnt mean your site is safe..its just there for looks.

oh i know the vrd site name but it would show up in a online banking registry as vertexracing.com, if they were stealing money they would obviosuly go by a different name.

^how'd you come across this information? I assume you would have acquired it quite recently.

If that's true about the discontinuing part for the black then that's kinda sad since it's their most popular item, next to their fogs.

Their official website is kind of messed up, can't even navigate it properly. It's a shame since their original designs were nice.

In for one, thanks for the great link, OP. 50% of the price of a "real" VRD off eBay, and ~70% off from VRD directly, what a steal.
