DIAMOND STANDARDManufacturing Process

• Precise Engineering
• Purchase all applicable OE samples and perform
  test fits to establish master sample for scanning
• Test OE sample for mechanical and chemical
  properties by 3rd party laboratory
• Scan master sample to create material data and
  confirm data to sample by CMM
• Create part blueprint
• Tooling Design
• Create process flow chart for tooling
• Verify tool process through computer simulation
  software
• Complete tooling design with weekly reviews
• Casting patterns to be reviewed approved before
  going to foundry
• Tool Building Testing
• When all castings and tool steel are received
  they go through machine bay
• All construction of tooling runs thru die bay
• All tryout of tooling runs through one of two
  internal press bays
• VTF performed on 1st piece from tooling to
  determine any changes needed. Test fit is
  repeated until all corrections are made

16
DIAMOND STANDARDManufacturing Process

• Part Approval (PPAP)
• Part material thickness is verified to OE
  thickness using ultrasound tester
• Part shape and hole locations are verified on the
  checking fixture. Cosmetic features are compared
  to the OE sample in a light booth
• After 1st piece is approved, panels are run to
  perform a thirty (30) piece capability study. One
  of the pieces is used to perform a vehicle test
  fit
• Mass production is started upon 3rd party vehicle
  test fit approval
• Impact Testing
• Quasi-static 14 pole test performed on (4) OEM
  and (2) PBSI samples at MGA Research Labs
• Impact data is reviewed to determine if changes
  are necessary
• Crash test of OE bumper at 6mph
• Crash test of PBSI bumper at 6mph
• Ongoing Product Validation
• All raw material is ordered to same
  specifications as the approved material and is
  certified by PBSI vendor

  Facility and Man-Machine Interface Device used
  to monitor all the working processes and
  conditions, including where the human eye cannot
  see, during the E.D.P. coating process.
• High-Tech Radial Electro-Core Coating is applied,
  rather than the traditional Flat Electro-core,
  which avoids the unequal coating on a parts
  surface.
• Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment efficiently
  cleanses all parts as they pass through the
  system, removing all residues, silt or other
  contaminants most other systems or manual
  processes will miss.
• All E.D.P. coated products must withstand SAE
  recognized 1000 hour Salt Spray or 20 Cycles of
  Cyclic Corrosion Tests.

Professional Parts GroupLimited Lifetime Warranty

• The Professional Parts Group warrants that all of
  its program parts shall be free of defects in
  materials and/or workmanship for as long as the
  part remains installed on the vehicle for which
  the part was originally purchased. We also
  guarantee our program parts against perforation
  (metal rust-through) due to corrosion over the
  course of normal use.
• Any Professional Parts Group program part found
  to be defective will be replaced, repaired or the
  original purchase price refunded at the
  discretion of the Professional Parts Group
  Preferred Distribution Partner or company-owned
  distribution warehouse. In the event of part
  failure, you must provide proof of purchase to
  your place of purchase or the business which
  installed the part. Installation labor may be
  reimbursed, if incurred as a result of the
  failure of the Professional Parts Group program
  part. Labor claims will be reviewed on a case by
  case basis.
• This warranty does not cover failure, perforation
  or defects resulting from accident, damage, abuse
  or improper installation. This warranty does not
  apply to commercial vehicles.
• The Professional Parts Group shall not be liable
  for any incidental or consequential damages
  arising out of the use of its parts.
• Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation
  of incidental or consequential damages, so the
  above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
  you. This warranty gives you specific legal
  rights. You may also have other rights which may
  vary from state to state.
• This warranty applies to vehicles registered and
  operated in the United States.

27
MAGNUSON-MOSS Warranty Act

• Provides that the placing of a competitive
  replacement part on an automobile does NOT affect
  the warranty on the remaining parts.
• December 2010 Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
  offers Consumer Alert stating
• Simply using an aftermarket part does not void
  your warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
  makes it illegal for companies to void your
  warranty or deny coverage under the warranty
  simply because you used an aftermarket part.

Installation of a non-genuine Ford itemdoes not,
in and of itself, render our warranty void.
