Fiberglass Chipped EVO-R side blade

Jasonle · 12-29-2011, 07:26 AM

I cant figure out how to enlarge this picture. Every picture i take with my HTC EVO and upload it to photobucket it comes out small..and when i try to resize it on photobucket it becomes blurry :-( SORRY for the small picture guys!

But anyways I just recieved in my FRP EVO-R side blades...PACKAGING was GOOD no signs of damages and fully bubble wraped. BUT the corner of the driver side skirt is chipped. I already emailed the vendor of the issue...waiting for response..Is this expensive to get fixed? Also if a chip like this if i dont get this fix will it get worse? Its the part thats hidden under the car so nobody can see it..BUT i prefer to get it fixed just worried on $$. Sending it back and then getting it back would take forever...not sure what to do here.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jason

damn bro thats a huge pic lol im just kidding... honestly bro thats a minor thing... i would however ask the vendor for at least some of your money back or like a discount on another part you would like to purchase.... i cant really tell from your pic but as long as its just a chip a lil bondo and 2k primer would fix it right up... the only time you would worry is if its a crack or hairline crack because that would spread....

so dont sweat it man... i think if you ship it back youll pay more than to have it repaired just my 2 cents bro

O and to add about the quality on this... i bottomed out HARD when i had this on my z.... didnt even crack a lil

they are still one of my most favorite mods for side skirts only reason why i switched... it rains here alot on guam and these babys pick up dirt faster than a shovel.... so i opted to switch to the amuse replicas sides

Thanks for the advice! Its a chip..their some white lines on top i think those are scratches..but not sure..or hairline cracks? Im not sure i cant tell. This is my first time ever buying something thats fiberglass. I really dont want the hassle to ship it back and WAIT again for it to come back...if this is fixable myself or fairly cheap to take it to a bodyshop to fix i would rather do that...

on the white lines look at the back man... if they look identical in the back those are hairline cracks..... but from what im imagining theyre most likely scratches....

i highly doubt they are cracks.... those blades are more flexible than ever man... was the box dented or anything?

No damage at all to the box...and the wrapping was great! I love these side skirts too! ill look tonight to see if any cracks on the back..hopefully not! But either way i cant put them on till i fix my oem side skirts. I got to figure out how to take the skirts off to get the scrapes/scratches from a curb buffed out and repainted. When i figure that out maybe i can have the same guy do my side blades the same time. Hopefully it wont cost much!

Have it fixed at a shop its not worth all the problems sending it back!

Jasonle · 12-29-2011, 02:54 PM

Hey guys they just called me! They gave me a few options...return it and they send me another one...but that be awhile. or Go to a bodyshop get a quote and they will pay for it!...Going to the bodyshop tomorrow. This is great news thanks everyone for the help!

simota1 · 12-29-2011, 03:46 PM

no problem bud

Have fun getting a response from evo-r. When it comes to taking your money theyre quick but when somethings wrong youll never get a response

Waiz · 12-30-2011, 08:16 PM

Hmmm I can't really see what the damage looks like.

If it's going to get painted anyway it might just be easier for you to get a partial refund and have your bodyshop fix it instead.

Jordo! · 12-30-2011, 09:57 PM

I would think a straight exchange is fair. Send it back for a new one.

Jasonle · 12-31-2011, 03:33 PM

Actually i bought this through z1 store they were really good getting back to me! I dropped it off at a body shop..$60 is what they quoted me to fix so i just had the shop do it and z1 already refunded me $60. I would do business with them again!

simota1 · 12-31-2011, 04:53 PM

yes they are bro... ive done business with them before and they respond fast!!!

That's funny that you bought is through the "Z" store b/c 1 month ago I bought a Evo front lip from them and the box was in good shape but all 3 pieces were broke they said they would send me a new one but I told them I wanted my money back so they refunded me.
