    this guy gets it.

    doesnt effect functionality. a minor overlook maybe but i doubt any company is paying hundreds of dollars to have something so miniscule fixed. shit happens, get over it.

    .....so do i......

    would i sent it out of my shop...probably not...would i care if i bought it...not at all, wouldnt give it a second thought

    honestly it looks like some mill scale that didnt get cleaned up after welding.....not a huge deal....its not going to effect anything, and you are never going to see it.

    again, 3 minutes with some sand paper and spray paint and itll be perfect, if it really bothers you that much.

    the bumper is going to get beat up anyways, so who cares if its "pretty"?

    but if OP wants to sell his 'blemished' bumper to me at a considerable discount, ill happily take it off his hands.......but frankly i think he just wants to complain about something.

    Oh, don't worry, OP is gone and is never coming back. Just because you have low standards doesn't mean the rest of us have to accept shoddy workmanship.

    Do I go into McDonald’s expecting perfection? Of course not, it’s fucking McDonald’s. Fab fours is the McDonald’s of the truck armor world.

    Mediocre results may be accepted at your shop, send me a PM with where you work so I know to never buy from them. And I like that you are so worried about whether I can work with my hands, can, do, but life is better as a boss in the A/C.

    1) what is mediocre here?.....a 1x1 area that no one sees,that didnt get fully cleaned before paint....my god the horror!!....it appears to be an otherwise well made and good looking bumper.

    2) its a cheap bumper...corners are going to be cut somewhere.....if thats the only corner they cut....sounds like OP made out pretty well.

    I can't believe how many people on here are OK with blemishes on new products. That being said, Fab Fours is the Harbor Freight of bumpers.

    if you had a cosmetic blemish on the inside surface of the bumper that mates up to the car, would you get all pissy? probably not......you are literally never going to see it.

    why is this any different? its a small spot in a location you are NEVER going to see.......so why get all bend out of shape over it?

    you are buying a bumper primarily for protection, and secondarily for looks....im assuming the bumper works as advertised......and the parts of the bumper you can actually see appear to look fine.....so whats the issue?

    if his entire bumper looked like that, then yeah, i would be a little more sympathetic........but honestly........OP strikes me as the type of person who would look for hairs in his food, and upon not finding any, would pluck one off his head......just so he would have something to complain about.
