The Arizona Collision Craftsman's Association (ACCA) ended the year on a high note. The December 15 association meeting, held at the Four Pointes Sheraton in Phoenix, was a Christmas Party and silent auction. The auction raised about $4,000 and the proceeds were used to purchase phone cards for the Arizona National Guardsmen and Arizona Reservists who are serving in Iraq.

Two of the country's largest suppliers of re-manufactured alloy wheels say they support the development of industry standards for such wheels. Speaking at the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) in Las Vegas, Nevada, in November, Roger McClellan, vice president of sales and marketing for Transwheel Corp., said his company believes such standards are an "effective way to promote the industry and ensure the safety and satisfaction of consumers."

Moving NACE to Las Vegas during Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week was a big gamble. NACE profits provide much of the annual operating funds for the Automotive Services Association (ASA) and represent a big chunk of change to the show management company, Hanley Wood Exhibitions. The convention center at Mandalay Bay is more expensive than former NACE venues such as Dallas, Orlando and Atlanta, and at the time the decision was made to move NACE to Las Vegas, the major paint companies had all quit the show, with no assurance they would return to Las Vegas.
