Starting in the garage of two college friends back in the summer of 2000, Extreme Dimensions has grown from its humble residential roots to its current 50,000 sqft industrial location in Fullerton, CA. With three different lines-Duraflex (fiberglass), Carbon Creations (carbon fiber), Couture (polyurethane)-and spanning more genres than a gender confused transexual, Extreme Dimensions manufactures and distributes over 6,000 products globally. It's safe to say their UPS bill is a little, um, extreme. www.extremedimensions.com
