I couldn't agree more. It just seemed like u were getting pissy about the opinions that had been posted about the grill. With every viewpoint comes opinions good and bad. Nature of the beast.....And I agree that the riveted frame one is the better looking of the two styles.

it takes a lot for me to get pissy brother... now if he wanted to put the cheap diamond plate bumpers on his rig, then I'd be getting pissy...LMAO

and just a little FYI.... everything you buy now a days is a name... the exhaust systems, the rims, the intakes, the grilles, and what not are all a name... if you are worried about buying a name, find no name brands or make your own... but 9 out of 10 times, the name brand you are paying for has quality associated with it...
My RBP grille fits perfect and was very very easy to install.... was it a little more because of the name, sure... it is worth it? every penny

Not saying No name brands are better quality than name brands by any means, but when i can get another name brand with just as much quality and history to back it at half the price of another name brand then why waste the money

you have to remember something, Lexani is RBP's wheel manufacturer and these wheels are high quality... Lexani makes Asanti as well... so yes there is a little of RBPs profit in there, but there is a lot of quality....

I can understand that. I am not questioning RBPs quality, Im questioning the price they put on that quality. Like I said, there are plenty of manufacturers out there with just as good of quality, more time in the industry and still have way lower prices. They can charge whatever they want because there are chumps out there that will pay it because they want the image, but when it comes down to it, they wont get my business , and others', simply due to their pricing. If the pricing were reasonable, one of their rim designs would be at the top of my list, but to me its not worth it.

dude... lexani has the 2 million dollar set of rims... they make 42" wheels... and Asanti rims are around $1000 a piece some are more.... so RBP having a price tag of $400 or so a rim is actually quite inexpensive when you compare it

You are comparing an 18" 4x4 wheel to high end pavement princess rims? Im sorry but in comparison to other wheels in the category RBP is selling their stuff in, their rims are way over priced. You are comparing apples to oranges with that comparison. If I was a rapper and wanted some wagon wheel rims with gemstones on them I would hit up Lexani, but I am a 4x4 driving daily driver that goes offroad a lot and I use my truck for what its made for. I prefer function over form
