I think carbone and rennline, aside from some nice pieces like phone mounts or adjustable pedals and carpet sets scream “I just bought a 911 and am “outlawing” it, woo-hoo!”
In short; boring and obvious.

This is a technical forum and a churlish comment as quoted above almost belies comment. Rennline is among the early and successful American companies innovating to produce American made parts for what are effectively antique German toys. I use Rennline parts, and seek American innovation. Do one off manufacturers always hit the mark? Who cares. Useless quibble about branding? WTF. Clear branding allows others to gain insight on origin of a part, perhaps leading them to purchase American made products. Rennline demonstrated there is room for creativity and opportunity to make money providing parts for enthusiasts. How many innovators risking capital are on this forum? A good number.
And adding /rant does not obviate the uselessness of the comment nor provide it license in a technical form.
