How Clear Image Started:

I (Dan) started Clear Image Automotive in December of 1999. I had purchased my 1995 Black Impala SS in the summer of 95. I started to add bolt-on performance parts and soon found myself at a stand still.  I was ready to purchase headers and could not find a decent set. All the shorty headers available had foolish designs and the power increase was not worth the effort.  I could not find any full length headers and decided to start my own business. I have always worked in a service oriented industry and applied what I had learned to my customer service. In the beginning Clear Image was internet based only. All headers were sub-contracted. In the spring of 2003 I had the opportunity to share a small shop with another small business owner, Brian Hunter of Get Bent Fabrication. This allowed all header production to come in-house and our product line began to expand.

Not one year later Brian and I went our separate ways and I moved into a new facility with a store front and plenty of space to grow. Equipment and tool supply continued to expand as well as my products and services. In October 2004 Todd Cason became my primary fabricator. With his vast knowledge and experience working with stainless steel we were able to expand our product line and take production of many parts in-house.

In January 2006 we made a large expansion in business by purchasing our first Mandrel Bending machine, as well as several hydraulic presses and a tubing cutter. This allowed us, once again, to take several products in-house that we were having to purchase from other suppliers. I am happy to say we now have complete manufacturing capability and have been able to branch off to the wholesale side of things by producing several different headers for several new companies.

Customer service has always been my key focus, besides product development. We simply treat our customers as we expect to be treated when visiting other establishments as customers ourselves. It's simple and it works. Almost 100% sales have resulted from "word of mouth" advertisement. We will continue to focus on service and research new technologies, products and applications!

To all our customers:  Thank you very much for your support!  We would not be here today without YOU!

In December of 2005 I became one of two owners in a new corporation, Arc Studios, INC. My partners Todd Cason, a creative artist and master fabricator, plays a key role in the success of our business venture. I look forward to a prosperous and  successful future with him.
