Dylan,

Most people are not on the all those different lists as you.

I will agree that the brushguard is not anyone's best effort. Reason
why I did not get one despite being offered one at a discount.
However, just because I don't like it doesn't mean someone else feels
the same way. Case in point? Tube bumpers & GoWesty bumpers are
hideous to me. Lots of people love them.

Cheers,
BenT
