    this sucks for the nanocube guys.

    from there website:

    It is with great sadness to announce the end of consumer facing operations at Nanotuners/Nanocustoms. After nearly 8 years as a direct to consumer operation, we are changing gears.

    For those customers who have been along for the ride, we thank you for your support. From our humble beginnings on a dining room table, to our latest endeavors, you have been the driving force behind our creativity. A hobbyist to the very core, I am eternally Grateful.

    To those customers in the past 3 weeks whom we have been out of contact with, I am truly sorry and ashamed. Our email system has been down since early October, with my sole contact being at chris@nanocustoms.com

    Please contact me through this email address and I will be right in touch. Refunds will be issued in Full to all remaining orders. Custom orders for CNCd products (hybrids + retros + fixtures) will be filled within 3 weeks.

    It has been my utmost pleasure serving and growing with the community. INNOVATE OR DIE!

    THE ONLY THING PERMANENT is CHANGE.

    Cheers & Good Luck.

    Christopher Jung

    Founder & CEO - Nanocustoms/Nanotuners

    Didn't JBJ hire Chris Jung? They just came out the the Reshore Unibody LED as a collaboration between Nanocustoms and JBJ.


    From the thread above (unsure of the orig. source):

    Aw, :( I never bought from them, but they had some cool stuff. I wonder what they're doing now?

    Hmm...maybe joining forces? Is JBJ still a separate company? Did they buy out Nano Customs?

    from what ive read they just parted ways but may come back as a different company in the future/if ever.

    i run the evil par38s from them and they are very nice.
    from what i saw the biocube kits they had were also top notch.

    They had some cool stuff, but had been in a downward spiral for a long time. Really was just matter of time. Their product range kept getting smaller and smaller and what was left was pretty expensive. Also, they were really never able to take advantage of evilc66 and break out in the led market for some reason. Too bad.

    Their site is already down. What a sad day. I don't think they moved forward with the technology fast enough.

    They are local and had the CNC factory right up the street from where my G/F works. Sad day indeed.
