So i'm on Quadratec and have ordered several things (Think my credit card is about to catch fire).
I've noticed how prices are not competitive and vary widely for what appears to be the exact same material/concept/look.
For example: Mopar products are absurdly expensive. Was shopping for bumpers and saw bumpers for $1,200!!! Then DV8 has the same cool looking bumper for less than $500. Before buying I read carefully- they appear to go through the same manufacturing process and are of the same material. you think the market (or demand) for these over priced products would self correct. But it appears that isn't the case.
Same with lift kits. And oddly enough, when I do research on the lower priced parts I don't see people complaining about quality.
So I guess my question is: Is Mopar the Prada of the jeep world? Are people just paying for a name? Not to pick on Mopar, or other expensive brands. Just seems like it is the same way chicks pick handbags. It's an image/brand thing.
