๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’› A little story of AGR Fabrications - and maybe a little call for your help ๐Ÿš€

Hey Miata family! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Since 2021, Iโ€™ve been chasing a dream โ€” building parts for the car we all love.

After years of tinkering on my own race car, building prototypes, and even helping develop parts you might know from other brands, I took the leap. With minimal capital, I quit my full-time job, moved into a small basement workshop (without car access โ€” every time I needed to check something on my car, I had to work outside ๐Ÿ˜…), bought a TIG welder, built my own CNC machine, and started creating.

In September 2022, AGRFabrications.com was born โ€” starting with just a few products:
โœ” Bumpsteer Elimination Spacers
โœ” Engine Mounts for NA/NB
(and many more followed).

Today:
โœ… Over 500 items shipped
โœ… Over 300 orders
โœ… Customers from 28 countries ๐ŸŒ

Our parts are now available through SPS Motorsport, Skidnation, Bofi Racing, TopMiata โ€” and weโ€™re working to expand further.

Our best sellers so far:
1๏ธโƒฃ Bumpsteer Elimination Spacers (NB)
2๏ธโƒฃ Rear Subframe Brace (NA/NB Billet Aluminum โ€” my personal favorite ๐Ÿ’›)
3๏ธโƒฃ Anti-roll bar Competition Mounts
4๏ธโƒฃ Differential Brace Kit
5๏ธโƒฃ Interior Door Cards (NA)

BUT โ€” a small reality check... ๐Ÿ˜ž

For a long time, the US was our biggest market. Unfortunately, the recent political and trade situation in the US made things much harder for small businesses like mine. Since March 1st we received only 1 single order from the US โ€” that's one order in 3 months!

To explain a bit:
โœ” Shipments under $800 normally enter the US without duties
โœ” BUT certain aluminium parts (like my billet subframe brace) are affected by Section 232 tariffs โ€” meaning even small orders may face up to 50% extra duty due to aluminium alloy classifications ๐Ÿ˜ž
โœ” Many smaller parts (like interior door cards) are still free of tariffs under $800.

I know it's frustrating โ€” but I just want to be transparent and explain why sometimes it gets complicated for US customers right now. ๐Ÿ™
