My fault for not installing it earlier. And he has told me that he changed shops, but throwing it out there.


UPDATE:

These aren't the cracks I was talking about, but I noticed them yesterday in a completely different area. I guarantee a pressure washer would take the paint off...

Faint:


But on this side even Ray Charles can see the cracks and the bubbling:

Yes, my bad for waiting to install it, and he told me he has since switched shops. But that doesn't do anything for me now

You bought a bumper from me almost 6 months ago.... inspected it in person, picked it up... and now your asking me for a refund.... I would understand if you had it for some weeks and then asked me for a refund, but going back that far... There is too much that could have happened. Unfortunately, I can't give you a refund given the time you've had it.

And I quote
"Im.not saying everything he has painted was bad, but I didn't see the flaws until after yours was painted. I don't know what to tell you man"



I didn't see anything when first picking up the bumper because he Saran Wrapped it.

So is the only problem the crappy paint job? Other than that he delivered it on time and there were no other issues?

Take it out of your current sales.
Refund me the money I paid to paint it. The bumper is still a bumper

Apparently, DE isn't the only one who had issues with this seller:

I bought 2 headlights from him, one was in perfect condition, one was missing 2 tabs, so it only has 2 bolt in points. I didn't mention it since I didn't want to make a big deal, but I figure I would add to it.

Default Buyer beware! Member fairz

When I bought my nismo bumper from him I sent him an extra 300 for the diffusor piece that goes underneath and ended up finding one myself. Tried to get the money back and he ultimately was trying to screw me out of that 300 bucks then had to take a loss and he sent me 150.

Edit: not to mention the paint was terrible and I had to take it to a body shop to repaint the grilles correctly and wet sand the whole thing.
