Not you but the story. I don't believe a franchise would remove and destroy a part to anyone's car without severe consequences.

I dont think they would either. In fact I know a dude who was always hanging out at dmc huntington beach when id swing by. He had the box you speak of in his car, and they never touched it. I had Danny make a comment about daves solid state relays in my car, but they would never touch them without asking. I mean they may offer to return to oem, but just remove? calling bs

As unbelievable as it may sound, this might not be far from the truth, especially if the car in question was being service at 'DeLorean One'
Ed B at DeLorean One was old-school, hardcore OEM and a stickler for originality. I recall an occasion (an owner posted on DMC Talk I think) where they returned to pick up their car from DeLorean One to find their aftermarket spoiler/wing had been removed from the car as it 'wasn't original equipment'.
So the airbox being binned and an OEM one being put in its place is probably more plausible than you think.
Sounds crazy but it might just be true

I heard the story 10 years ago, I don't know how much time had passed since it had happened but he looked pretty annoyed when he got to the end. If anyone knows any older asian owners in the bay area.

This isn't the first time I've heard this about DMC CA, but I also just don't believe it for a couple reasons. First, I've never heard these stories firsthand - it's always someone who heard it from someone or worse. Secondly, I've done business with Danny for 24 years and when I first heard this rumor, I sat down and spoke with him about it. I wanted him to know what folks are saying and how other folks are taking it as a legitimate concern about doing business with Huntington Beach. He said that not only would he ethically never do it, but he just doesn't have any time to go pick through cars and swap/take parts. FWIW, I completely trust Danny.
