I disagree here. There is a ton of work in a bumper like that. You may be able to look at it and say why, it is only some sheet metal. Try building that sucker with all those angles. It's a very fair price.

All you need is a good fabrication company that will build them for you and once you build one and make a good jig then the cost goes way down on production models. I'm thinking the cost per unit is anywhere from $300-$400 per unit powdercoated depending on how many he has built at one time.

But hey if people are willing to pay for it then why not charge that much.....everybody else does
