Good morning, Alex.
I got that email yesterday (and a dozen calls, texts, and emails about that email shortly thereafter).
I am completely out of the loop having cut off all communication with Esposito, his daughter Laurina, and that company 3-4 years ago.
Can you elaborate on the situation here so I have a place I can send inquiring minds?

Hello Marco,
I would rather not get into too much detail.
Here's the short story: We had an agreement that ESPO (John Esposito Porsche Repair) would be a dealer of our parts. Things have taken a turn for the worse, and they will no longer be selling RD Product as our dealer. We neglected to do our due diligence, and are now paying for it.
Sorry for this but you aren't the first.

On a positive note I'd like to thank RD for the products which were used in the restoration of a 356SC I owned. It went on to win class and best restoration at the 2019 Porsche Parade. You guys were easy to deal with and my body guy is number one on your list in VA. He is enjoying a good working relationship with Restoration Design.
Best regards,
Tom

Thanks for the support Tom, much appreciated!
Since making this public, phone calls, emails etc. have been pouring in from customers, sharing stories and support. The Porsche community is definitely a great group of guys, and gals, that we love being a part of, and we look forward to working with you in the future. Stay Safe!
+1 for Alex and RD. Since the business moved to Ontario, it has grown by leaps and bounds and tried very hard to make the most precise replacements for our cars. The fact that they are just up the road from me and just down the road from Robert Gross's shop is an added bonus and point of local pride.
I had the chance to tour through with our Southern Ontario Longhood Association cars and coffee group 4years ago. What a bunch of dedicated craftsmen. What tickled me most though were the boxes in the shipping bay labeled "Jerry Sienfeld".
