tell him if he carries through on his threat, you will countersue him for malicious prosecution and legal costs.
i also like the idea of having him suck your dog's ass.

You should buy one of his heatshields, take a shit on it, and send him the picture.

hahahahaaaaaaaaa

Then resell it on ebay as your own!!! BWHAHAAAA

That was fucking hilarious.

Hmmm, I've scene Eric's antics and pranks on azbmw.org, some of the shit he's pulled is funny. Now I've never met the guy or know him, but I bought a heat shield of his, I wasn't all that impressed. Then again what do I expect for 30-40 bucks on ebay. Either way that guy does not back down when he's pissed or being ornery good luck.

Dammit, Al Gore only invented the internet.

Get it f-in right, fool.

:p

Here's the thing. He is threatening you. What i would do is politely email him back with this reply.
Dear so an so,
As stated in prior emails, I have not copied your design. Please stop all correspondence with me via email as I am now finding your remarks threatening. If you do need to get in contact with me regarding any infringement on your design, I would ask that you utilize legal council.
Thanks so much for your time,
You.
What you are doing here is telling him you feel harrassed and it is within your rights to ask him to stop. Once you do this if he contacts you personally again it shows TRUE harrassment.

Make a file in your inbox and SAVE EVERY email from this guy. Especially the ones after you write that email. Then do this. Call your parents (you are 18 of course and hopefully have never needed a lawyer) and ask them if they have legal council. If they don't know a lawyer ask your boss or a professor. Ask the company you are working with (they need to be in the same state though as he will have to sue you in your state of manufacturing). You probably won't have to pay anything for advice on this matter from a Bar'd lawyer. Show up with all the evidence, (maybe even one of his heat shields, all the paperwork, your prices vs his, the email trail, EVERYTHING. I bet he has no grounds to sue. But the only way you will know for sure is to talk to a lawyer. But first and foremost, stop him from harrassing you. It is within your rights to request that from him. Also if he talks smack about your stuff online it's slander, if it is printed a certian way online it's liable (both things can ruin a small business owner). I would refrain from any trash talking of him or his products from here on out if I were you. We have the right to say what we want, but as a competitor, you cannot state inferiority of any kind without putting youself in a sticky situation. Send him that email and break all contact till you hear from a real lawyer. That needs to be in letter form with REAL letterhead. Not by phone. If a lawyer calls you request a letter for your records.

Best advice in this thread.

Besides, what "major aftermarket supplier" is gonna make or sell a new E30 part?

Exactly my man.

I was just reading some of his posts on other forums and that guy is a fucking schmutz.

He is. And he's been this way for YEARS. He used to be a major fixture around here back when it was E30Sport.net. He's watched Boiler Room and Glenngary Glenross way too many times, so he thinks he's some badass executive/real estate mogul. Constantly going on and on and on about how financially smart he is, about how rich he is, and how much money he constantly makes.

yeah, bad ass executive type punching out plastic 30 dollar parts for 20 yo pieces of shit
he has a bright future. dont give this waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles the satisfaction of even responding to his stupid ass threats. you need to taunt him hardcore. seriously, make a template saying "lukas shields" or however you spell the waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless name and put them on ebay.

[joshh]

How many people actually buy that part anyways. I'd bet no more than 3-4 thousand have been sold total. Big money there!!!

[george graves]

This thread is so silly. There is no real money in heat shields. Not enough to hire a layer over anyways.
