Is the economy going to start putting tuners out of business?
Given car companies are doing so badly, people's 401ks have been decimated, unemployment on the rampage, etc. I'm kind of wondering what companies are going to be around at the end of it since not many people seem to have disposable income anymore. Do you think we'll see some bigger names dead and gone before long?

I think some will be put out of business, especially the newcomers! But donīt think the older solid tuners are going to be pushed out.

Not sure that there may be a huge discount on parts. Economies of scale may suffer just that much an it may be that the remaining market for premium tuners is considerably price inelastic.
