Default Bumpers from Ebay

Saw these bumpers on ebay, front and rear for a little over $600 for the pair. Anyone know or heard anything about them? Looked them up on (e-autogrilles.com)

I'm on my phone so can't post a link but there is a 36 page thread going about these bumpers titled "I did the unthinkable".I found it searching posts for e auto grilles just a minute ago to try to link it.

I bought the rock crawler front and rear bumper combo as well. But I didn't get the one with the tire carrier. I love how it looks. I'm more then sure it's the same front your looking at.

I've got both my Olympic Boa front bumper and Olympic Sliders at DEEP discount and sold as "scratch & dents" or "slightly blemished" from seller 'acmejeepparts' (acmejeepparts.com) which is sister site to quadratech. Though they were described as slightly blemished, they arrived in absolute perfect condition and i couldnt be happier!

I bought my XHD front bumper blemished because it didnt include hardware. Well I got the bumper and it came with hardware, but it was used, rusted and pitted to hell. They told me the best they could do was give me $50 bucks off. I know it was going to be scratch and dent clearance, but I didnt expect on old bumper that someone no longer wanted. It really pissed me off.

Mounting points all lined up fine. Only 1 bolt gave me a hard time. But after a few extra mins of shaking it. <~~~~lmao didn't come out right. But yea shaking the bolt we got it to go in. I took the fog lights bulbs off and saved the Connections. Tucked them away with quick ties. I wana buy some more kc lights for the bumper and wana Control them with the original fog light switch
