    BREAK BREAK BREAK!

    Install almost complete. Bumper is on good and snug. It was a pain in the crap shoot but I got it on.
    Question.... Do I need to tape up my dog light connectors if I'm not plugging them back in??

    I just bought mine to have it finger printed. Going to get to the bottom of this once and for all.

    Post the install instructions. Curious to see if they are the dame as AP's. Although I do not know what AP's look like

    They didn't provide any. But AP worked like a charm

    ...too much shit to list.

    If you are referencing me, I could give a shit less if it is an exact AP bumper minus their logo. I bought one so not butthurt at all.

    I've said all along these could be the exact bumper AP sells. If so, sales will drop yntil these are gone or the price goes up. Sure the options are not there for the hoops and loops, but the quality would be identical.

    Other than that the OP is still a douche that could have sold a lot more with a better marketing scheme. It just created paranoia, brand loyalty and complete skepticism of his practices. John is just the outsource, not the builder.
