Pinnacle, WG, DP even Diamondite have their own sub forum to post questions, reviews, etc about their products but there isn't one for Black Fire.
I am a new fan of their products but have some questions about them and have found it to be very hard to search for reviews with the search function due to all the abbreviations and stuff.
I know it's no small project to get something like this up and running but I feel BF is big enough that it needs its own place.
Just my thoughts...
 
autopia forums .com

Todd Helme is the honcho there and the Blackfire product line manager, or something like that.
 
This is one link we want to share ... there is indeed a separate forum. I highly suggest visiting their store also, as they carry some additional lines that are highly regarded.
 
I thought autopia and autogeek were the same both pbmg????

Agree with Scott. Autopia Forums is a great place. Discussion on all different products including Blackfire. Stop on over :dblthumb2:

Um...killr are you saying that ACC carries products that AG doesn't? I know either store sometimes has an exclusive on certain products for a limited time when they are introduced, but at the end of the day they are fulfilled out of the same warehouse and whenever I look in the ACC store they seem to have less listed than AG.

They are both under the PBMG umbrella, but run as individual forums and stores.
The Autopia Forum gives you the added benefit of interacting with Todd Helme who is, without a doubt, the foremost expert on all things Blackfire.
 
Can someone share the history of these companies? Were they previously separate and then bought out by PBMG? They have identical store interfaces with different products, which then all ship out of the same warehouse. Seems odd to me.

Also, autopia is a rough brand, as they do not even own the domain name, which takes you to a different company. Confusing!

Why is it strange? It's like Chevy and Pontiac--er, Ford and Mercury...er...you get the idea. This should help: Palm Beach Motoring Accessories Expanding

I don't know what that means. There was a forum at one time associated with the Autopia Car Care store which was purchased by someone else before ACC was bought by PBMG.

Thanks for the link! Very helpful. I just meant that when there are multiple autopia branded businesses it dilutes the brand somewhat. I was on the "wrong" autopia forum looking around for awhile before I realized there was a different site.

It was pretty confusing. Another company bought that other forum, to connect with their existing store. Then PBMG bought Autopia Car Care and Detail City, and renamed Detail City to AutopiaForums to complement the ACC store. Then CMA went under and PBMG acquired them and combined their forum into AutopiaForums, which kind of buried the original Detail City content, along with the nascent AF community. So I kind of look at AF as the continuation of the CMA forum.

As far as the multiple businesses the best analogy was when Rolls Royce exited the car business. They sold the (Rolls Royce and Bentley) plant/engineering to VW, but the Rolls Royce name to BMW, that had to build a new plant to build "Rolls Royces".
 
AutoGeek Forum is better than Autopia, but I shop both online stores, because they frequently have different discounts.

Recently they had Free Shipping on orders over $75 and if your order was over $125, you got to pick three full sized Blackfire products from four that were featured.
 
I had no idea what was going on over there, I just signed up as I really like working with the blackfire line. :dblthumb2:
