Where are your parts made?

GT Dave · Nov 12, 2007

I like to keep the money I spend here in the USA, as much as possible. I think it would be nice to see a list of parts made here at home, in the USA. Maybe some of the sponsors could help. Even make a sticky out of it.

The C&L stuff is made here, and I think that SCT stuff is US made also.

Thanks for any help with this!
Dave.

Silverhorse Racing stuff is all made here in the US.

Sadly, a domestic car does not necessarily mean all the parts are manufactured here. Conversely, some Toyotas are put together in California last time I heard. Correct me if I'm wrong. My rims were manufactured in China. My grille was made in Southern California. It's a world economy.

Slightly off topic but a higher end stereo company Rotel started having their gear manufactured in China but the prices did not go down. Bigger $$ margin.

Rotel Hi-Fi

Someday I'll finally complete my all Rotel home theater system.

Sad to say, but not much is made in America today.

blame it on the consumer .......

who is forever chasing the cheapest price to his own disadvantage.

Ford had just recieved an award back in the summer for using over 70% of american parts in thier cars and trucks. I agree, I buy american when ever possible. If I didn't, I might as well have just bought a civic from the get go. "O YEAH", I just saw a civic wrapped up by a stang lastnight on pinks. The civic broke an axle on the 3rd run. The stang won the prior 2. They really didn't want the civic, said they would sell it.

Heard a lot of our parts are made in Mexico

That's still North America. They didn't say 70% in the USA. They said 70% in America.

DarkFireGT · Nov 13, 2007

Oh, hey, please don't take offense. I wasn't trying to correct you. I was poking fun at Ford. Sorry man.

No worries bro, you pointed something out that I missed when I was reading this thread

there is one company that comes to mind. they are a little behind the power curve as far as new mustang parts, but they are a fast charger in the market. look at Edelbrock, Vic Edelbrock prides himself on having all of his stuff made in the USA. i even think my old manifold said Made In the USA. good luck.

We as consumers do have a choice, but it is very slim pickings when it comes to products assembled in the US with US parts. The problem is the higher ups of the companies making umpteen squillion dollars a year with astronomical stock portfolios that could buy continents. If they would just come down even just a little from the high and mighty throne it would be better for our country. Sad to say, but I can't really blame them if you can make a product using another countries parts in yet another country and make "X" more money opposed to if it was all US. If consumers could just hunker down and take a stand against those ideas we would see more 100% US products, but our society is spiraling out of control.

I saw a Ford salesman once on TV complaining about how people don't buy American anyone. They showed him driving a Nissan.

I recently purchased a Fram fuel filter for my daily driver (99 Blazer). I always thought that Fram was a good reputable American company. After I got the filter home I saw the dreaded words in fine print on the package:
"Made in China"

kooldawg6 · Nov 16, 2007

My new wheels were made in China and the tires are made in Japan

ranger04 · Nov 16, 2007

You deffinately have a choice where your tires and wheels are made.

GT Dave · Nov 21, 2007

To those of you who listed any aftermarket parts made here in the USA thank you. I'm sure the list could be much longer if people would stay on topic.

To those who chose to give a lecture on this being a world economy, why did you bother to even respond?

Where are your parts made?
