APC is hated so much, because they make lots of ugly products, that do nothing for your car except make it uglier, IMO.

all APC does is make rice parts (rice not meant in a racial way!(just taking a precaution as this has been taken the wrong way before)). they make UGLY euro tail lights for about every vehicle imaginable, UGLY body kits made out of PLASTIC instead of urethane or fibreglass, they make exhaust TIPS (not full systems) with flames engraved on them and LED's inside them that light up when you drive, they make FAKE BRAKE DISCS to put over-top of the rear drum brakes on your economy car, they make FAKE ROLL BARS (called "Showtubez") to put inside of your car to make it look more race worthy (even though APC cautions that they are never to be used for actual race use and should not be relied upon to act as a real roll cage), they make shift knobs with LEDS in them, they make ugly heavy rims...do i really need to go on? because i can...

in my view, APC stands for American Piece of Crap. they should be outlawed.

on top of alllll of that...
most of their products don't really exist and have been on backorder for god knows how long...

they never have stuff in stock b/c their foreign sweat shops can't get stuff out quick enough...

but they have really tricked out show cars...

Yep, APC is all show, no go. I feel the same way about OBX stuff. I'd never buy a part from either of those companies, ever.
