Although I appreciate Rennline's quality, I simply cannot understand why they feel obligated to put their name/logo on everything they make. I was interested in their roof rack until I saw their name in a conspicuous place for all to see.

By the way, I do think that this is different than having the Porsche emblem on the trunk lid and "Porsche" on the rear reflector; after all the total car is a Porsche. But to also have every component of the car also labeled with its name and logo just produces a hodge podge of names, which are nothing more than shameless advertising. Isn't this what the ricer industry does? Do we really want our beautiful 911's, which were designed with pure Germanic functionality in mind reduced to rolling advertisements? Of course, most of our cars are not Pebble Beach quality, but could you imagine a Pebble Beach car with every component baring its manufacturer's name/logo in an obvious place?

Of course, they Rennline is free to do whatever they want. That is not my point. My point is that such displays turn away many potential customers; and I am one of them.

Does anyone else agree with my reasoning here?

Cordially,
