Seems to me that some people just had good luck with them, others didnt. Its sad that this is happening though, either way. My brother had some bad experience with them which was enough to keep us away from ZPI products. Seems like they did some good things for the Scion community just too bad it wasnt consistent.

SO....From my understanding, and research, Danny Bowers owns ZPIracing Inc, and would then own the business checking account. The orders would then be processed to Danny's company and the money deposited into his business account. How is Kenny the one scamming customers when Danny holds all of the tools to be successful? I assume Kenny reports to Danny?? If you have a pending order with ZPIracing Inc, it is Danny Bowers responsibility to fill your order. Kenny does not have your money and wouldnt have access to it anyway. He was an employee of ZPIracing Inc and left...there is no crime in leaving a company. How would Kenny scam the guy that owned the company when all business transactions had to go through Danny?? Kenny was essentially the research and development department for ZPI; Danny was the business owner. It just happens that Kenny was the "face" of ZPI because of his personality, presence in the shop and on the web.

So brad....
I didnt get a chance to meet you. What did you do for ZPI? Chad worked on my car the ost while i was up there. I was in the shop the whole time they were working on my car. I know kenny wanted you to be like one of the main mechanics or what not.
How was working with everyone? Kenny and Chad and Sean.

You would think they would atleast shut their website down so more people who dont know, dont order more parts.
My 2cents. People say dont blame kenny, but he built ZPI. Therefor it was his reputation and him on the line. He sold out because he couldnt handle it. He put it there, and it finally crashed.

Danny stepped in to help kenny buy lending him money. Kenny couldn't pay him back, and ran off to Turbochargers.com in Houston, TX and sold zpi to them which isn't his business to sell in the first place!
Kenny buys a 250k house in Houston and puts in in his wifes name so he doesn't have anything under his name. this prevents him from paying child support. he also wrote his paychecks to his wife, so it looked like he had no income.
His mon was the book keeper for zpi, which wrote fraud checks from zpi's account. kenny used zpi's paypal account to fly to Houston to meet with the people from turbochargersc.com.
This is the short version of what Danny told me. I'm trying to get him to log on and give his story in his own words, but hes a busy man.
there are a ton of people that have sent zpi money, and have not received any parts yet. Danny is taking down everyones name and information. there is no word on if we get our money or parts.. actually... i highly doubt we will get our pats, and the money part will most likely be settled in court!

i think it's awful that kenny, zpi, or whoever it was scammed so many people. at the same time, it really is a shame that it came to this. if zpi had actually been a respectable company, can you imagine how many happy Scion drivers we'd have? it would have been amazing... "would have" being the key words... good luck to everyone with getting a resolution. all of you who dropped hard-earned cash into something that will probably never come have my true sympathy
