For a Chinese it's an honor when someone copies their product, in my eyes and the rest of the world, he's just a son of a......
The problem starts when someone doesn't want to pay the (fair) price one ask´s for his product.
Then you end up with a cheap (copie) product.
And then there is the problem that the Chinese government is not interested in this (big) problem.
It's actually quite simple, don't buy anything from them, it's not easy, but where there's a will, there's a way.... ; )
( love your work )
As someone that knows the difference in detail, quility, design etc. The product you guys produce are second to NONE. Fairly priced and definitely grab the attention of alot of people. Much respect to all you guys in spring green from a few guys in fitchburg. 💪😎
You are so right, it's very easy to steal. Quality cannot be ignored. Keep up the great work guys. 👍🏾
Absolutely the best People around !
I have a 66 pro-Touring Mustang and have several of your products on the car. The products are awesome and catch people attention. Keep up the good work and innovation. Thanks for making everyone aware.
Keep your head up and keep pumping out the best quality work out there. You know China can't hang with what you do. Thank you for supporting the US and making such great products.
Unfortunately that’s all China has ever done is “hang” with what people do. They will never fail. It’s up to the said Governments to kill off counterfeiting and that will sadly never happen.
I love these guys... seriously they are amazing!!!
Keep innovating! Our workshop is going on 12yrs of full time #MadeInUSA production
‘Ringbrothers’ is synonymous with high quality- over the top engineering and execution. Sucks to get involved in anything defaming that you can’t do anything about, but hopefully the China shops go away for you guys
Honestly after this whole COVID thing I truly hope China just rots I’m hell. 🇨🇳
Great message!
love your work. very authentic. I hope that you guys can work on my car one day.
Hey Gents, Yes this is a big problem as you noted for some many manufacturers big and small. Knowing the pride you guys take in each and every build and every part you put your name on I am very sorry to learn about the knock offs. Innovation and quality will always prevail!
You guys are awesome! Some people want to meet movie stars and singers but I would love to meet you two. Keep up the awesome innovative work!

Espetacular !!!, muito bom o trabalho de vocês...

They do beautiful, high quality work. It's bad enough people steal your products, reproduce and sell them while you lose credibility because of greedy criminals. Keep up the great work, and go to the FBI with your concerns
I bought a pair of Ringbrothers 3rd gen Camaro hinges recently, they're amazing. Not a lot of companies building custom billet aluminum parts for 3rd gen Camaros yet. The customer support was top notch as well when the hinges were shipped missing some of the smaller components. I've spent over 9 years now building my car piece by piece with as many American made parts as I can, and it'll take me several more years to finish it, but I'd rather do it the slow and expensive way than have it done in half the time but with D grade knockoff pot metal parts just to save money. Buy once, cry once.
Happy crying for a finished build?
@@robertnicholls9917 It's an expression about buying the better quality, more expensive option and being sure you made the right choice once the sticker shock wears off, vs buying the cheapest option and having to replace it way sooner. I'm still a ways off from finishing my build since I need to get a house with a garage to do bodywork in first. If there is one item I wish the Ringbrothers made for 3rd gen Camaros, it would be door hinges. They suffer from the same super long and heavy doors that the 2nd gens do.
My favorite company next to Singer. True industrial designers.
They are speaking the truth. I've called there business several times and a lady has answered the phone. If by chance she didn't, I left a message and she did call me back. Like they say in this video, it's rare to find companies who still do this. I've personally talked with one of the Ring Brothers on the phone about their products.
Love to see all your built. You guys are cool builder.
I know the feeling of having something you created and someone else distroying it, for a quick buck.
Love your hinges.. would never go another route
Guys take it as a compliment that people are doing this to you, if your product was no good then they would not be doing this. You wanna buy cheap then you get cheap people need to remember this !!
My dream car is a 69 Camaro SS. Once I get it I might check out what you've got in stores. hopefully you get the knockoff problem dealt with
also when you say you are a small company that may be true, BUT you are one hell of a small company. good job
Part of the current trade negotiations with the Chinese concerns copyright laws. Hopefully they will understand that counterfeiting works both ways.
Guys, you need to record your copyrighted products with Customs and Border Protection. CBP Office of Trade will help you.
Often imitated never replicated
You should show us what a counterfeit Ringbrothers part looks like, so consumers can tell the difference.
People should stop buying stuff off eBay trying to save a few dollars, and actually check the Ring brothers online stores or their authorized resellers. Keep their business alive and the good product coming.
Those hinges are a thing of engineering Beauty. If anyone can't see that you put your heart and soul into that you're never going to save them anyway. Some people will do anything to save a buck and go anywhere to do that. Quality means nothing to them, they don't have the reputation you people do. The only way they can compete is to cheat. Thanks for a informative video and take care.
Hahaha maybe the two brothers were also made in China....😁😁😁👍
Love Your work✌✌✌
You guys are awesome. Sorry the Chinese are trying to copy your stuff. Someone noticed this week after the Chinese landed their little toy rover on the moon, that their space agency's logo is almost an exact duplicate of some Star Wars logo or something along those lines. There is literally nothing they won't copy. They have no shame. Love seeing your builds at SEMA. I've never bought any of your products, but only because I don't have anything to install them on yet. I'd love to build a vintage Mustang in the future and I'll definitely give you guys a call when I get that project going. :)
This is the biggest issue we deal with in the composites manufacturing industry. China can take our parts and reverse engineer them so rapidly and have a completely inferior version of it to market in less than 45-60 days. It noticeably messes with your bottom line and your brand presence
Please help me find hood hinges for my mustang 1966 I want to buy American bc I’m American
Those replicas are made of the finest Chineseium on Earth! Bleeech! Disgusting that they have ripped you off.
That R looks familiar
You published your wifi password in the video.. I hope you have already changed it.. If you haven't change it now.
They will copy your web sights and products. Ask me how I know.
TRUMP 2020 keepin' an eye on the thieves!!!!!!!!
One simple rule - BUY AMERICAN, whenever you can.
That's China for you,go'es on with all sorts of merchandise
Made in China, fixed in America.. knockoff crap hurts not only the good mfg, but the customer also..
It happens to me all the time. I have asked GOV> and SEMA for help as well as Ebay and other resellers for help but they suppend for 30 days and there right back.. Mack @McKinneyMotorsports.com
It is a necessity for me to always buy USA made products. I don't hate China or Chinese people but they're craftsmanship is non-existent when it comes to mass produced products. People should be more wary of knock-offs and where such products are being produced and sold.
Make a video with comparison parts the cheap shitty copy and your quality build .
First off, my grandfather was part of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment and jumped into enemy territory during WWII; my father never saw combat but he was also part of the 82nd Airborne and the "AA" on his shoulders stands for ALL AMERICAN. Point is, I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but that is just pathetic. You guys aren't taking a stand against anything... you're complaining about being uncompetitive! I may not like China's government (just as half of all Americans don't like our own government at any given time), but the Chinese are wonderful people, I've been there, I've met them, spoken with them, interacted with them. For the life of me I don't understand it, but they sure LOVE Buicks. However, I did not see a single pre 2000 model of anything there since it was only in the last twenty years or so that they started buying cars, and they aren't into the old stuff anyways. So if they're making parts for classic cars, they aren't doing it for themselves... it's because there's an AMERICAN demand for it. It is the epitome of capitalism, trade secrets are stolen, corporate espionage runs rampant, profits maximized, trade marks and patents are infringed upon all the time in America. They're just playing OUR game and you guys are being sore losers. If you truly believe in your ability and the quality of your products, then you have nothing to worry about, nothing to complain about. If the low cost of overseas products truly reflect their low quality, then let the market decide what they want. Crap companies selling crap products don't survive anyways. But people must have a choice to buy what they want. That is a capitalist system in a democratic society. It's survival of the best, the most efficient, the most profitable. Do what American companies do best: work efficiently, effectively, innovate, invent, strategize, perfect. If you just whine about your costs, want someone to even the playing field, kneecap a competitor because they cheat, demand a system that's equal for all, force competitors to play in a fair, instead of letting the market decide... well to be honest, that's more socialist than the Chinese. Anyways, good luck!!
