As 2009 comes to end, we'd like to take a moment to recap our business results and achievements. When many of us are working 12 hrs a day, 6 days a week it's nice to take a pause and give thanks for another terrific year. In 2009, nobody told Forged Performance that the economy was in recession. We put our head down, continued to push and expand into new markets while taking care of our core Nissan/Infiniti customers. The result is that our business year-to-date is up 21% over last year. To fuel this growth, we've hired several new technicians and sales staff and added a second in-house tuner. Our parts business continues to thrive, and we've added inventory to better serve our customers. Forged Performance's current staff of 11 is the best we've ever had, boasting decades of combined experience across many platforms including Nissan, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and exotics. Forged Performance was the first in the country to campaign an R35 GT-R in the national Redline Time Attack series. Many thought we were crazy to do it, but we knew the GT-R had tremendous potential. And with a perfect reliability record we finished on the podium at 4 out of the 5 RTA events and finished the season in 3rd place in the Modified AWD points chase. :thumbup: 2009 also marked our first invitation to the coveted Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout where 15 of the best tuner shops in the country compete across 4 different discplines for top honors. Against some incredible competitors and full blown race cars, we finished in 3rd place. Next year we'll be shooting for 1st! We also started the country's first 370Z Time Attack race car build up. About 2 months away from completion, Jay Stoops will be driving this car in the Redline Time Attack Series Modified RWD class, where it's sure to make frequent visits to the podium. We expecting 550whp+ at a svelt 2800lbs. And we continue to build some of the fastest and most powerful 350Z's and G35's in the country, with consistent results everytime. Maintaining engine assembly, and fabrication in house allows to insure a great result each time and the ability to stand 100% behind our work. Oh, and we broke our dyno record with one of our customer's G35!! The entire Forged staff wants to thank the hundreds of customers and friends we've made over the year. All of you have contributed to our success, and we hope to earn your respect each day. While many companies have fallen off the map, Forged Performance in it's 5th year is stronger than ever and looking forward to a spectacular 2010! We wish you all a Happy Holiday Season! Best Wishes, Sharif, Sandy, Scott, Decker, Ryan, Kerry, Junius, Jason, Shawn, Alex, Jake, and Caesar.
Awesome recap. Is there a check list for new cars that come into the shop? Step 1. Pull into shop. Step 2. Remove front bumper!
Step 3: Hang front bumper very neat and nicely from above it's respective car. Never seen that before and that shows how nice and tidy the shop seems to be.
LOL..didnt' really notice that until you pointed it out. Most of our builds require bumper removal, so we hang them in the air to keep them from getting lost, scratched, damaged, or otherwise messed up.
