OK^ Whats your attitude for? They NEVER said they were the first to come out with it?..............
Same product at a lower price.......maybe Im the only one to see the benefit from that?

OTT sells 2 brackets to hold a coolant reservoir, one screws into the car. We sell one bracket that is absolutely nothing like what OTT sells, and mounts completely different on factory studs. Ours does cost less which is a trend we seem to continue. In my opinion we offer a much better, easier solution for a lower price.
Now I feel more like a grade schoold teacher around here than a parts supplier but let me educate a few of you lacking in this area (no pun intended).
Copying a product involves seeing or using something and duplicating it. Competing involves making your own part which is hopefully cheaper and/or better than a competitors. You guys sound like little kids. "I call brakes". Damn, OTT copied me. sniff, sniff... I came up with the idea to upgrade the brakes and now they have their own brake kit...
How about strut tower bars? Does being the first mean anyone who makes an STB is copying you? I don't think so. It's safe to say that certain concepts (smaller pulley, a strut tower brace, a mount) are concepts which will be duplicated. That doesn't mean the part is copied (although it could be as intense repeatedly does) but generally you can expect people to do similar things. Does that fact that ZZP came out with aftermarket mounts before OTT mean that OTT copied us? No, and we're not crying about it.
LOL @ children...

OTT:
ZZP:
OTT is two separate brackets. You have to drill into your car. Theirs are cut with some type of saw. $45
ZZP is a single bracket that mounts quickly onto existing factory studs. Cut using a water jet for smooth finish. $25
Quality is based on personal opinion but you can judge from the pictures yourself.

It's a one piece, and powder coating is offered for 10 bucks. I can appreciate that.
Instead of chastising ZZP for coming out with a similar product, we should be glad that they are actively competing with other vendors.
It's not like this is going to sink OTTP.
By the way this is how the OTTP brackets fit for comparison:
