Jeph any insight into this situation?

No offence taken. I don't know the real answer, but maybe these might be worth while theories.
1) Their customers are scattered about the US. Dallas is relatively central.
2) Cali is more expesive, I'd be willing to guess, to set up and run a shop.
3) I don't know if it matters for aftermarket stuff, but emissions are rough out there I understand. One less obstacle when hard tuning a car.
4) Personal Roots in Dallas
If you can afford a RUF conversion, I'd be willing to bet that the mere $2k or whatever in shipping wouldn't seem to "daunting." At the event they listed the states in which customers were from. I wish I could remember them now... The only one I do remember is Iowa (because I was like "they have Porsches in Iowa?" -I can say that, I was born in Iowa.).
I will search for the real answer in my travels SD987.
