I guess ssd liked my tear drop tub design so much there selling them in kit form.

This kind of shit happens to a lot of the people in this scene that have some of the most amazing ideas. You, are one of the few who actually got to pull it off first! I feel that goes a long way even though you spent more than $129 on making your bed stand out. I can relate, For me personally, I have had some ideas that I am in the middle of financing and working kinks out, then bam, I see someone's ride in a mag sportin the same idea as me. None the less, great attitude and just like you said keep your ideas rollin and use this as motivation for the next big thing

Random person: Hey... when did you order yoru SD Tear drop tubs?You: WTF you talkin' bout? I had these before SD even started making them.Random person: Riiight, trying to be cool?You: ......

I would take it as a compliment.. or have your name stamped on their design

If your mad now wait till next week when FBI and everybody else is sellin them. Probably for more money too. SD is an awsome company with great prices...I have bought a lot from them they are good guy's

You know we love you...

Rabbit, your tub design was a 1 of a kind. The biches sheetmetal bed I have seen and everyone loves it. I know it sucks that now everyone and thier brother will have 1 like it now but we will alway's know who designed it. Be proud that SD.com is now mass producing your Idea. You might not be making any profits from them but, when we see them on someone elses truck we will always think of yours. And by the way, yes I would say SD.com definitly copied Rabbits idea because he has had that truck at a lot of big show that SD.com has attended this year. Congrats Rabbit!

Rabbit man that sucks. But i think your shit looks way better and alot more uniform. And anybody that knows anything about anything will know you had yours wwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaayyyyyyyy before the punk kid whose truck is sitting next to yours at a show.

I know its custom with a "c". But custom with a "K" is sooo much cooler!!!

If you want an origional truck leave it in the garage so only you can see it.

Great ideas are often copied.

persoanlly I'd take it as a compliment.

I was thinking the same thing. In the same light that winning a show isn't for the value of the plastic trophy... it's more about the pride, knowing that the ideas that may be featured on 100's of trucks are in part attributed to your original creation is something pretty damn cool.

If it's a great idea, it's gonna be copied. I wouldn't sweat it.
