If I am going to complain about the aftermarket, I would complain about the lack of adequate installation instructions with many products…
No one reads instructions these days. The JT owner's manual is an example. Translation from native country of manufacture to Standard English has always been iffy. Packaging on the kitchen knife-"6 inch Boner*" . The asterisk qualifier said "Keep out of children". End quote. Still have the package as a curio. The knife works well.

And a wiser man said..."you can't always get what you want....but if you try sometimes, you find get what you need."

A very wise man once said “you can have any color as long as it is black”. Economies of scale ......rule.

I like SPAM. Fried crispy, garnished with yellow mustard. On cheap ass white bread.
And the OP is just voicing what I've been wrestling with for 6 months. But I don't get vocal about it.
I go low sodium SPAM since I turned 43.

Look at the ARE topper. It was not this color when they manufactured it. I PAID to have it color matched in MoPar paint at the manufacturer. You can get the color code online from MoPar and then any respectable manufacturer of whatever material can have it matched. And yes.... it costs. Just like everything else in the real world

First off, I love my 21 Gladiator. I constantly looking for ways to improve/adjust/alter it's appearance, but would like to stick with items that match/compliment the factory color. I choose Snazzberry mainly because I didn't want another black jeep; and I don't prefer the "red" they have. I really like the Snazzberry look. However, when searching for items on the after-market sites, Amazon, direct sites, etc; everything color coordinated is either BLACK, RED, or CABON FIBOR? Seriously, is it so hard to produce items that match the factory colors? Everyone keeps saying red is 'close enough'. If I wanted RED, then I would have bought red. Again, just a short RANT
Complaining about colors and his avatar has absolutely no color in it.

But it is so creative, sort of like black and white photography. It makes a statement with no color.

That’s hilarious:). Something definitely lost in translation. I do read instructions though. I guess that makes me weird.

Funny how this thread has digressed in a funny way......since the OP vanished after posting anyway.
