Default Bushwacker Knock-Off Hood & Tailgate Protector????

Has anyone purchased the Bushwacker knock-off hood & tailgate protectors for about $75.00 instead of the $140.00 for the Bushwacker brand? If you did is the quality, and fit good? I don't have a problem paying a fair price for most products, but this seems very over priced for two plastic pieces. I also think Bushwacker should sell the front & rear separate. I do not want the rear so paying $140.00 for the front is not going to work. I have purchased Bushwacker products in the past.
Thanks!!

Well I ordered the cheaper ones at $75.00 and I installed them today. I'm very satisfied with the fit & quality!!! There is no way in my mind they could be worth $140.00. The tailgate protector is so small and simple. I am 54 years old, and I understand there is R&D. I have ordered hundreds of things in my life for motorcycles, cars, trucks, as well as tools, and have never felt this strongly about something being over priced. Just my nickel. Thanks!

Well now I'm curious about these knock off pieces...I've been contemplating this to add to my hood. I'd probably already have it if it was only $75.00

Would anyone mind posting a link to the knock-off version?
