You talking about that big ugly green thing?

That's always a possibility. Would be a pretty blatant ripoff considering it says RPG on the skid. Like I said its not my add, I was just surfing RDC and at a glance it looked like a good deal.

Sorry my post was a little confusing, the bumper is off of a raptor conversion f-150. The owner posted it up a few days ago.

Having worked at Rpg I just want people to have a heads up that this is Taiwan raceline prototype and not the standard ones made in America. Nothing wrong with it being made in tiawan and last I heard Rpg was not going to go through with having them sourced out because of the quality

May be the picture but the quality of welding and grinding looks a little sketch.

Is this seriously not a RPG bumper? The owner is a member here and said he had two of them. He's got other parts on his truck from RPG and RPG even commented on his truck in his posts.

From what I understand, It seems like RPG commissioned a set of front and rear bumpers to be built in Taiwan, obviously to cut costs. When they got whatever batch order of these Taiwanese bumpers, they weren't satisfied with the quality / construction of the bumpers, so they decided not to sell them to consumers under the RPG brand. Using good business sense, they probably tried to recoup their investment in the failed Taiwanese bumpers and sold them for cheap to a third party who is selling them now.

I'm guessing the welds are not as pretty or well done, but it's the same basic design.
