You could always get this, and pay a bit more to have the shop drill holes for you. An experienced shop should have no problem doing this.
Thanks for the feedback everyone else

There are 3 factories that make them now.
The ones in Taiwan are the only ones we're willing to sell because of quality of material, durability, etc.
We are aware of some of the eBay ones being shipped through back channels at reduced prices and we're definitely working with the factory to see how we can offset this issue, however, it is true that the "hit and miss" nature of eBay and the tight margins will generally lead vendors to use the same photos of the Taiwan unit and still sell you the cheaper material with recycled plastics of the China one.
YMMV - Give us a call if you have questions.
PS: as a way to give you more value for your money, we offer to prepaint all our bumpers to be delivered ready to install.

I bought the same product you sell on your website for 1/2 to 1/3 of the price and got it shipped fast and freely opposed to your bottom of the barrel greyhound delivery. Overall I had a dramatically better experience than the vast majority of reviewers of your service.
Please do not try to poke holes in my experience to try to win back business that you frankly don't deserve.
Cheers

You make them sound so sketchy lol, this isn't the black market.

And get some facts:
we haven't used greyhound in over 4 years!
Our bumpers are about 1/3rd more in some but not all cases...not even close to a half.
Our bumpers always come from one factory.
Ps: we pay to support this forum
Pps: you paid about $790 painted and installed. Our price is $250 paint $275 bumper + $127 door to door...so $650 ish and you can follow our diy video
