Matt: I would agree. Although the "major suppliers" (i.e., PJ Grady, DeLorean Motor Center, DeLorean One, DMC (Texas/Florida), DPNW, SpecialTAuto) are in business to make money, they also make their living on the DeLorean community. Plus, they are also "true" DeLorean enthusiast. Therefore, they have both a business and personal incentive to make products that are reliable and safe. In addition, we already have the most powerful "consumer protection tool," the internet and various DeLorean forums. This should be used to not only warn other DMC owners of "fake" "bad" products and services, but also inform us of products that are reliable and wok extremely well (which is rarely done). Just my 2 cents.
