    Call them and let them know what's happening. I think they would stand behind their products.

    What a trite cop out. There is plenty of good quality stuff made in China and plenty of poor quality stuff made everywhere else. The company is the one that's responsible for it, not the country of origin.

    Looks like OEMassive just lost a few “sales”... if a company won’t stand behind their product, I won’t even entertain a purchase.

    I believe @mesojdm is having some of his products produced out of China. I personally feel that his blacked out mirror turn signals are top notch and I'm pretty sure the lenses for said signals were injection molded in China. I also believe the original OEM Toyota signals are manufactured there too.

    Only way to properly fix it is have a bodyshop guy resurface and clear coat them. Did it on my last Tacoma its not cheap because when done right it'll take them 4 hours or so probably $150-$200 but it lasts 5+ YEARS.

    If you half ass them by doing the normal "headlight restore" process without a professional clear coat they just fog up again after 6-12 months in my experience.

    You asked for one example and I gave you two... then you complain about not enough examples. :facepalm:

    I've bought crap items from China, America, Indonesia, Italy, Croatia, etc... Life lesson? You get what you pay for, no matter where it's made. Cheap shit is made anywhere that people will buy it.

    I'm not going to play the strawman game. You have your biases and me naming off some products made in China isn't going to change your mind. Having actually manufactured stuff with Chinese manufacturers, I can say with 100% certainty that, just like any manufacturing operation, the quality of the product depends on the engineering design, the relationship with the manufacturer, and the work culture that the plant maintains. 'Made in China' doesn't mean 'crap' just as 'Made in USA' doesn't mean 'quality.' You've got people on either end of the manufacturing process, and those people can take pride in a product or not.

    Now Ireland on the other hand is a different deal altogether.

    EDIT: Just from where I'm sitting - my Yeti 20 Oz rambler (awesome) - made in China; my seagate external hard drive (awesome) - made in China; my Tecknet wireless mouse (awesome) - made in China; my iPhone 8 (awesome) - assembled in China; my ancient TI-89 calculator that just won't die - made in China; And I can assure you my Levi jeans, Toms shoes, and Mountain Hardwear jacket, all of which I think are great products, were not made in the US but in some Asian country.
