    I haven't read any response since reading this.

    I will point out one thing you are missing.

    What about a company that already has the needed equipment and only need the dimensions?

    No company is going to jump into the game of making aftermarket parts seeing a demand. Only established companies do that intorducing a new name.

    All one off shops start as hand welded, hand measured, and test fitted. They price it up, people buy it up. It's new, unique and fits like glove. After a while it is outsourced so R&D can come up with the new next best thing.

    Brand loyalty is about innovation, knock offs are about competitive pricing in an overly saturated market.

    Maybe AP decide to drop 2nd gen and focus on 3rd gen, maybe not. Either way, this bumper is out there and more will fillow regardless of name.

    What's really funny to me is we've all been primed and waiting to rip Cole to shreds, but then Mateo74 stumbles in here and talks some shit and catches all this pent-up rage. It's deserved, don't get me wrong, but most probably harsher than we'd normally be if we had the our desired target in range.

    Very true ... Price is the ultimate judge. If people "only" wanted hand crafted quality, WalMart wouldn't exist. Good enough is, more often than not, good enough.

    In all reality, if you had excluded the "just" from your initial post, it wouldn't have sounded nearly as condescending. Be that as it may, I don't think someone should be banned from a forum for a single statement... Hell, get a few beers in me and I'm sure I can piss someone off too. Not being an advocate, just also trying not to be the judge, jury and executioner in one.

    I'm taking a break for dinner. When I come back I hope to see the news @Mateo74 has formally resigned from his status as a complete fucking idiot. If not, I'll be sure to go ahead and use the green light given to me by @ForeRunner .

    @Mateo74 if you think I'm taking it hard on you right now, you ain't seen a mother fucking thing yet, bitch.

    guys guys guys... everyone just simmer down. this guy is obviously incompetent and unable to produce any sort of respect. internet blasting him is only going to make it worse.
    thank you all for supporting me and the military and all our fire fighters and police officers. i appreciate your support on this jack wagon. just let it go. hopefully he gets banned. but don't stoop down to his level of idiocracy. just let him sink in his own drool.
    being a Recon Marine, i want to stomp his nuts through his throat, but he isn't worth my time.
    i am leaving this thread, unsubing, and going to hang out with the wife. If anyone has any questions about the bumper, let me know via message. ill try and get an actual review up and going tomorrow. thanks y'all.

    This is true. However, there is still a market for organic, high end products. Many people want products that have just a little extra care taken in making them. Honda sells a lot of Civic, because sometimes getting from point A to point B is good enough. But Ferrari still exist so you can get there in the same amount of time while sitting on handcrafted, Italian leather (and it helps get the ladies when you are 70).
