    LoL you can say that again... But Pride and Greed are two different things. You can't tell me that the cost of manufacturing them comes EVEN CLOSE to $195 each. For example ... look at the technology an material that goes into making a tire... its alot more than in these bump stops for relatively the same price.

    I wonder if they are a multimillion dollar company? I am sure they are they must be doing something right. They are good at marketing if nothing else. I have heard they are bad ass though.
