damn...UPS huh?? i wonder if it was already cracked....

[william_jeff]

return it

you didnt pay to fix it you paid to paint/install

nothing more nothing less

[twinj]

x2. Get on they ass.

i wont have to pay to fix it.... the crack can't be seen. If we put resin on the inside of the lip to cover the crack then sand it down do you guys think it will hold??

[william_jeff]

maybe but i think i would tell them to send me another one fuck the bullshit.

send them the pic

[twinj]

^x2 if that is the case you should not have paid for brand new one in good shape.

it's being painted now... can you put something on the inside that will hold it together and keep it from spreading??? you can't see the crack on the outside, its on the bottom side of it.

it was cheap so im not worried about getting another one... i just need to have it on tonight. I can always buy another one down the road... no biggie

[The BUCKY]

if you paint it now and ride with it tonight it will prob mess up the paint unless they bake the hell out of it. i was gonna weld it up for you but cant with paint on top

[©hris]

can't weld the back of it??

[Asshole]

who gives a fuck you dumbass....

who gives a fuck you dumbass....

... I think i heard someone paging you in the Whoreslounge... u should go check it out. Could be a Noob in distress or something....

[The BUCKY]

can't weld the back of it??


weld would go all the way though

[©hris]

ok thats fine. I'll get you to do that soon. The guy painting it gets the paint for free. He travels to different dealerships doing touchup work. Getting it painted again wont be a problem. When can you do this??

i believe this just proved that idiots lack of anything.......

in that case i guess we are all idiots... ask an astronaut if he can perform surgery. Or a History Professor if he can wire a light switch.... :thinking:

friday evening should be good for me. i'll give u a call tonight and let you know

its fixed... the guy painting it melted plastic to the back of the crack. and bondo on the front. he said the crack is completely covered and can't be seen and the plasic on the back of it is completely welded to the lip and will not be coming off. we'll see how it holds.

buy urethane ;)

they dont make a urethane lip for my car... in fact the lip i bought is the only lip on the market other than the OEM aero kit. 04-05 model Civics (non SI) there is only a handful of ext accessories.

and only 2 websites offer the lip... i searched for weeks and found nothing but ugly body kits.

ahhh its no big deal really. If i was paying $150 to get it painted like all the shops quoted me then id be sending it back for another one... for the lip, shipping, paint, labor....$150 total. if anything happens to it he will fix it for nothing and spray it at no charge.

Otherwise i'd be seriously pissed off about the situation and would be expecting a new one next day air.
