Looks nice except for the giant logo. I suppose you could cover that with a license plate.

Agreed would like to know the price before I get in on the Shrockworks group buy for a front bumper...

Good to know, thanks.

Regarding the logo, it's a double-edged sword. I work in a similar industry, and we put logos on stuff as knock-off prevention. You may laugh, but it works. There are always overseas companies knocking off successful automotive aftermarket designs, and if one has a prominent logo and one doesn't, generally speaking forums will call out people for buying knockoffs, which really does help.

Sure, it's a little much sometime, and I think it could be smaller on RCI's part, or a little more subtle somewhere. But I can also understand why they want to permanently brand their design. There's always dishonest people out there looking to rip off your stuff.

This makes sense to me but a small laser cut logo on the side or somewhere less conspicuous would be far more appealing.

Agreed. Although it does make me wonder if they intentionally put it there so people could cover it with license plates... That's really the only good place for a front plate if you don't want it hidden under the winch.

I thought the same thing but why would you want it covered as a company? On the flip side many states don't require a front plate.

I think that might be part of it. It seems like it would likely be covered by a license plate, but if you don't have one cause you don't need it by law or whatever, then I guess they figured they might as well put a logo there.

I haven't been on the forum in about a month. Is there a shock works group buy? If so can you link it? I can not find anything but taptalk is not always easy to search on.
