Default Zaino question

Can Zaino be purchased in a store or does it have to be mail ordered? Thanks for any help.

There are local distributors, and it can be ordered from teh Zaino Website, but it will never be in stores.

jabez.... I am the local Bay Area Distributor and can get the product to you.

Is it cheaper and would I get it faster from from a local distributor? If so, you know one in Orange County?

Ecklers carries Zaino products. They are a Corvette store.

This was a great question. I have always wondered it, but was waiting to ask until my C6 got here. Thanks!

That is the ONLY problem with Zaino, you can't get it in a retail store, you have to order it. I wish Summit carried it. I live a couple of miles from their retail outlet.

For us close to Ecklers (40 min) it is fairly convienent but even so most of the time I just call them up put my order in and a couple days later its on my doorstep. Couple dollars shipping is probably the same I'd spend in gas. But sometimes its just convenient to pick up the fone and have someone else bring it to you.

But you forget, that 40 minute drive is a good excuse to drive your Vette.

Haven't seen this product offered in stores in my area.
Internet is the only way I've purchased it.

No Zaino in Orange County. Got mine from a distributor in Santa Monica. Went over to his house and picked up what I needed. Same price as if you order direct.

Well Pat,

Since you're keeping the distributor a secret, I'll let the cat out of the bag.

Call Ira/Robin @ 310-478-4092 for your ZAINO and tell them the L.A. City Firefighter Sparky recommended them.

And Pat, now that you've had your Corsas' in a few days, how do they sound? How's the noise inside? Are they getting louder on exceleration?
Spill the poop!
