Thanks :)
Good questions.

1. We use a grade of aluminum which is what the aircraft industry and NASA (cold space adventures) use in building certain components. We then HARD anodize our pulleys for extra strength. No, the main purpose of anodizing is not to make your pulley look pretty. Companies that tell you bare aluminum pulleys are just as strong as anodized ones should not be dealt with.

2. There is a US act called the Moss Act. Basically it states that ANY aftermarket component can be used, and can not void warranty, unless said component can be proven beyond doubt to have caused specific failure related to that area of the car.

2b. I have found through personal experience that dealer service managers will take very good care of their customers when the customers are professional and mature with their attitudes and behavior. Individuals who go to dealerships and act like the dealer owes them the world will be refused for the smallest of issues, others will not.
