I look at labels when shopping,...for anything,....I emailed alot of suppliers this last winter while doing my homework for the Spacer and asked them directly where their parts were from,....When I buy a car, I look at the origin of manufacture,...salesman hate me,...but hey, I make my money here, I spend It here (whenever possible)...Walmart is out of the question (Walmart,...your best source for plastic crap cheap)...maybe not much, but Its a good start for the unknowing, uncaring, and indifferent masses...
