PSM:  How long has your company been in business?  Tell us a little about your company’s history.
MR:  GR Sales, which is our parent company, has been around for 30 years. GR Motorsports, aka Tuned by Matrix, has been around for 16 years. GR Sales started in the swap meets. They were big on buying closeouts and buy backs from Pep Boys and AutoZone. They started with floor mats. They used to buy the returns for $3 a set, then go to the swap meet and flip them for $10. That’s what got us in the business. Then we opened a warehouse and became a WD distributor and importer.

PSM:  What does your company sell?
MR:  Floor mats, LED bulbs, projector headlamps, LED taillights, custom grilles, fog lights, racing seats, mufflers, steering wheels, and LED light bars.

PSM:  What is your company’s main focus?  A simple mission statement, if you will.
MR:  Bringing new and innovative products to the market.

PSM:  Where do you get the parts that you sell?
MR:  We import from China, Taiwan, and Korea.

PSM:  What’s your most popular product?  Tell us a little about it.
MR:  LED light bars are the hottest item right now. We have Cree LED Epistar chips in the bar, starting at 5 to 10 watts. These lights are mainly for off-road trucks, Rhinos, Razors, quads, etc.

PSM:  Do you offer any special swap meet deals or discounts?
MR:  Yes. At the swap meet only, everything is discounted!
