Lee, I've been working here for an old dogs age (no offense to my ex Mother-in-Law). I can look out my window (not really, as we park our vehicles in a five tier garage, and I don't have Superman's X-ray vision) and say for certain the front and rear plates are different. As a matter of fact, front vanity plates supplied free of charge to the taxpayers by 3M are now in their second generation.
PS: If only a handful of cars out of billions and billions have minor QA issues, how come I have seven (six which I would call major: poor paint and obvious hand brush repair on a FHP, bent door arms on four silver CVs [two orders five months apart], and no winshield on a helo) issues out of eleven items?
No offense Lee... but really, if your not satisfied with the product, or the service you receive or don't receive, then just stop buying them.
That is what I did with Code3. I have not bought a Code3 product from them since the problems I had with the Philly Squrt. They simply dealt with it by totally ignoring any and all attempts to contact them by me or anyone else. In essence, they just ignored the problem.
It takes an Act of Congress to get any communication with Code3, and even that doesn't work!!! At least Dennis provides replacement cars-n-parts, openly acknowledges that there are problems, and communicates what he plans to do to correct them... (unlike a certain person from Code3 who simply writes in rhyme and chooses to ignore all correspondences but those from his "chosen few").
