They do the cutouts now probably because they are trying to get some more advertisement out in the world. They are a very small company and need more money in order to grow. I was a little surprised though when my stubby showed up yesterday with a plastic card holder with a bunch of cards to hand out to people who like my bumper as a way for them to get free advertising out of their customers.

Sorry guys, we tried to listen to what you wanted....we had no lights at first and we got a large response from you requesting them so we added them.

We already provide 2 variations of this bumper style(stubby, full width), on top of powdercoat options (bare, Semi-gloss Black, Text Black, Anthrecite) as well as Tire Carrier or non Carrier...all for those of you who have different opinions about what you want. We try to satisfy but that's not always possible.

We laser cut our logo in almost every product we make. The cards are not manditory for you to keep, just like you are not required to use the stickers we provide with products. We have gotten many customers requesting cards to hand out as they get alot of attention from their product.... So we provide an easy way for customers to give info if they so choose, best case they use them, worst they don't. Free advertising is making a quatlity product that speaks for itself weather we are there to or not.

I think the cards are a great idea! Low cost to the manufacturer, and easy for us to share the source of these great products. If you don't like the idea, throw them away. Took me less than a week to hand out all of mine.

When we order the rear bumper with the tire mount can we order it with out the SHOCKWORKS cut in the bumper. The holes for the lights are all good but to have the bumper re painted and all the work to fill in the name on the bumper after I get it. Just think of all the TIME you will save on not cutting the name in the bumper. And to add the lights and tire mount like we all were asking for was good but I dont think we asked for the name in the bumper. Send the cards and I wiil be more than happy to pass them out!

We laser cut these in batches. We work very hard to design and build a quality product, we are proud of them, stand behind them, that is why our name is on them.

You can see the cutout in HUNTER's bumper in post #14, but it doesn't show up much in the dark. It is just below the right light.

I understand that the bumper pieces get batch cut, but why not just put on a sticker? I'm sure it'd be cheaper and people who don't like to pay to advertise can take them off. I threw the business cards in my console, and I'll give them to people who ask about the bumper (in general, the quality is good)... but I haven't put the bumper on yet because I'm waiting until I get a chance to fill in the name.

Also, I thought the light cut-outs were an option (that I didn't want). I'll just end up fabbing a plate to cover up the holes.

I am fine tuning and making sure everything is in working order. The bugs need to be gone through as much as possible so this goes as smoothly as possible. So far it is as solid as expected. Pics will be posted soon but will not give a hard day (I've learned ) but it's close.

Chew on this...37" Irok, 48" HiLift.


Thanks for the patience,

Nick
