No I would never do that to another company, we make our own products and we sell other products. These are made in house and we have a box full of them for $59.95 a set.

you know what sucks is that my truck is 600 miles away and I just sent Kenny my extra set of Strikers.
If they work on a 92 s10 i'll take a set.
they look very nice

You are a Marquez dealer!! It is sad that people blantanly copy other peoples Ideas.

SERPA69 just for the record they were designed by someone well before Marquez even thought about doing them. Marquez is a great guy and designs and builds cool stuff but the market is open for all of us.
We have been building parts for years and people have asked us to make parts that they can’t get from other suppliers. If there is a market and people want it we will build it.
Our taillights have been done for several years but we were not in the parts business then. We are now and times have changed and I know as well as Marquez if you don’t keep people and dealers happy someone else will.
We both make lots of cool stuff and things will change over and there is nothing that either of us can do. I also do fender braces so I guess that I got that from Twist Machine as well. Wrong someone was doing them many years before and we just offered something different that goes with our hinges. I also have 20 applications for hinges with more coming out every month and many more tail lights Chevelle and Nova, marker lights for Chevelle, Nova, Camaro and other billet accessories for all sorts of cars. So who would you say that I am copying these from???? Get real is BFG copying Pirelli or did they redesign the tire.
I am out there to fill a spot on parts that most people don’t have, I might make something that someone else has but that is business and we build 10+ cars a year so we have lots of parts coming out from them. Why buy them when I can build them in house and sell them as well. If you like one company more than the other or are already buying parts from them you may want something else they have. I will continue to sell Marquez’ stuff until he tells me otherwise and would hope that he would be interested in selling my stuff.

Stock size is 1.5"
ours are 1.630"
so you will be OK if you need it larger we can make a few to cover the paint.

I am not going to defend anyone here. But I will voice my take on this.
We started making Billet Hood pins and then another vendor started making Billet Hood Pins that looked similar to ours and no one said boo about it. I was upset at first but then I realized it's a free world and whom ever markets there's better will be the one to sell more.
As far as Marquez is concerned he make a great product. But I know factually that he has been having problem shipping his tail lights since a very good friend of mine has been waiting almost a year for his lights. He's been patient and hasn't said a word for fear of this BB slaming him.
There is plenty of stuff that I plan to buy from Marquez, Ring Brothers & now Fessler for my next project. And If these door striker will work on my truck heck the money is on the way as we speak.
okay sorry for my little rant - i feel better now. Actually i didn't feel bad before.

Keep it civilized, when someone engineers new parts from scratch and does all the patent work, testing, etc. then are blatantly copied that's wrong, but these parts are far from newly engineered.
Have a good one.

I'm to the point where I don't care who makes then as long as they got them in stock. so many venders say they can do something then leave you hanging for weeks, days, even years. I try my best to be fateful, but bottom line if it's holding up the build I have to move on. I have been waiting for two years for RS back up lights and ended up getting an after market set from Ricks. They look good but really don't match my billett tail lights.
Keep up the great work Chris.:thumbsup:

Your Right, There probably isn’t any patent work for Marquez tail lights, door strikers, turn signals, or Ring Brothers hood hinges. But don’t you think these parts remarkably similar???? If people want to hide behind “Our taillights have been done for several years but we were not in the parts business then. We are now and times have changed and I know as well as Marquez if you don’t keep people and dealers happy someone else will.” I guess that is the answer. I am sorry for using the word copy, perhaps reproduction is a better choice of words.

I was referring to the door strikers only. Tail lights and other parts are not what started this thread. Their are a variety of manufacturers for the same type parts and where they are purchased from is up to the individual. The only problem I had was you blasted him with both barrells over flippen door strikers.

Those look good. I think I will get a set also. IMO these are commodity type products and on door strikers, Marquez did not event them.....I think Ralph Nadar did. Maybe he should be mad. Sure Marquez made them in billet but I would think others had done it also. I can see how people would look at it like a copy as his (Marquez)were promoted on this board first. In the big picture the first guy to make billet wheels could not have expected to be the sole source for such wheels. Competition is good for the consumer and both companies in this thread make what look like quality parts:thumbsup:

if one of these companies went out of buisness people would cry "why dont more people make these" . good for fesler for giving people an alternative.

Reproduction is not the right answer and if you think we just sit around and copy peoples parts you have no idea what goes into building them. So for all the stuff that I have that no one else makes who did I copy there. I have way more hinges on hand in many different applications and had the 2nd Gen Camaro and Nova shipping before Ring so did I copy that as well? There are only so many ways a hinge, taillight, markter light or striker fit. Right?

correct. Let's get back on track, this thread is about some new items Fesler has for sale, it is not about who invented what. We are all lucky we have as many vendors as we do coming out with these cool items.

I don't know how you could possibly make a set of strikers that look any different.. It's like how many different ways can you make a phillips head screw?

I have to agree with this statment... to make a piece to work with OEM tolerance have to be the same as stock, and Marquez and Fesler and who ever else probly based THEIR designs off the factory GM piece so they would be an EXACT bolt on. this isnt the aerospace industry where nothing bolts up (because no airplane uses all the same parts or are exact copys of each other)... this is the automotive industry... higher tolerances to make parts work with one vehicle to the next.. any one who works in manufacturing or is a machinist will understand where im comming from.
and to the people who continue to **** on Fesler products and Chris him self... you are the type of people who give car guys a bad name and ruin it for the rest of us. Now shut up and stop this BS.

Thanks for all the support guys, no matter what I do there will be hatters and one thing is for sure I will keep making parts. I have 22 cars in my shop right now and we are making parts for at least half of them. I will continue to post new stuff up as it comes available. Make sure if guys come to SEMA you stop by our booth in Hot Rod Alley we are right next to Air Ride in a 20X30 and we will have a ton of new stuff on display.
