GRP4 FABRICATIONS BRAND AWARENESS...
It has recently been noticed that some budget suppliers of escort parts have been using the "GRP4" brand name to advertise and sell their own lesser quality eastern world produced products and selling these as Group 4 fabrications products.
Whilst we are flattered that these suppliers obviously see our GRP4 parts as the best, please do not be fooled by this false advertising, The original "GRP4 PARTS" are available only here on the official website for GRP4 Fabrications(grp4fabrications.com) and through our unique quality product driven Agents.
