With the SoCal crew presence on this thread, it sure feels like you guys are ganging up on OP, especially with that loose cannon. There's always two sides to the story and it's tough to tell who's right / wrong in a dispute. I'm sure Long has tried his best to work with OP to get his problem resolved. I wish both parties can talk this out and 3rd parties stay away from making their smart-ass comments / praise the lord.

So you bought a second hand piece, which to you was defective? First off, buyer beware.

Now from long's point of view. He receives a product from you (not the person he had a sale with) in a damaged condition with claims that it was defective. I think we can agree that long didn't break the product himself. Now he's supposed to send a new product to you?

To much could have happened to that peice from when it was first shipped to the orginal buyer until it arrived on long's doorstep. The piece could have been damaged in several ways to cause it not to fit properly, including the fractures.

I don't think your argument holds water and would agree that Long went above and beyond.

i could go after him, but 1. its a little late for that, and 2. im pretty sure he is one of longs friends which is probably why he expected long to help me out. plus i'm not sure if he knew it wasn't a good fit cuz like i said it was supposed to be new which would mean he didn't install it.... if he did he probably saw the bad fit which is why he sold it.
You said you didn't crack it while installing it. You didn't mention you didn't crack it while removing it until after my post. You need to go after the guy who sold it to you. I don't care whether or not he knows the vendor. That's not the issue here.

I just don't understand how so many people can not understand that the cosmetic damage that the piece sustained was AFTER the fact that I found out it didn't fit and sent it to Long for a replacement. Its BS that the shop won't take it back because they probably are upset they can't resell it now... resell a poorly fitting piece.... which means that had the piece not gotten cracked, whoever came along next would have gotten the bad fitting piece. You guys all think that is acceptable?? I sure as heck don't. That piece should have been test fitted to show how poorly it fit and then I should've had a new piece sent back to me by the manufacturer... but Long wouldn't divulge that info so IMO that makes it his responsibility then to deal with things of this nature since he won't let us know who is making them (which I understand but on the same page, its not like I'm going to go blabbing it all over or start buying the trim from them and selling it myself... all I've ever wanted out of this was a replacement piece).
Yes, it does matter. He can't resell it. Someone has to take the loss and you put the loss on him. He could have at least sold it at a HUGE discount as a product that doesn't fit quite right, but with those cracks, who wants it? It's literally junk now.

You just contradicted yourself. If it was in pristine condition like you said it was, then you sent it without cracks! So it must have cracked between the time you sent it and when it arrived at Longs. If that is the case, go after the shipping company. Personally, I don't see how it can be cracked like that during shipping as the cracks indicates it came from stress during removal.

And by the way, I don't know Long nor did I ever buy anything from him. I'm just putting myself in both your shoes. Personally, if I cracked it, I would have tossed it and bought another one.

I don't know who is right and who is wrong. Cause honestly I don't know the facts. I agree under normal circumstance that through PM is the best way, but a lot of times when people make claims on the board its hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.

Since its so well known that I am one of the many people here that is on Long's nuts, I am gonna go ahead and say this as well. If the trim was packed well and nice and neatly, the piece would not have cracks. And speaking from experience, i have similiar hairline cracks on my trunk spoiler in a attempt to re-glue the spoiler. the cracks came from pulling the spoiler to put glue in between. those hairline cracks from the pics, i can only assume came from stressing the piece.

Oh, btw yes i know the trim is poor fitment and the fact that there are cracks on it doesn't change the fact that the trim is still poor fitment.

i wonder if i can go back to carking and get my money back or even replacement pieces still my splitters are poor fitment as well.

welcome to the world of aftermarket non-OEM parts. its a nasty imperfect world out there.

cheers

+1.. like i said before.. the OP shouldve thought about resolving this through PM before his BITCHASSNESS came out to the vendor feedback section.

thanks for your help Long. if this is going to require a fight then I don't want you to feel like you have to get too involved and I'd rather just talk to the shop myself about it.

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

-Badger
i have not recieved it. what address did you send it to?
no. i think there is some delay due to weather.
yea, i just got it from him. fedex didnt leave me a note. but anyways, we have a problem. the trim have hairline cracks all on top. my first fit of cf trim had the same problem when i pulled it off. so i can not do anything for you. you cracked the trim when pulling it off.
i understand...but its not me that will be refunding it. its the shop. they said they wont take it back. if it was me and i have one, i would give you a new one as promise.
this sucks. i can not disclose the shop i am using since i promise them. i dont know what else to do. i am sorry man. let me talk to them today and see what they say.
ok, I can respect that.

I appreciate you talking to them for me, I just hope you understand where I am coming from. If it doesn't fit on the car, I don't see why any damage would make a difference since it won't fit on any e90, its not like they can resell it or anything, it won't fit (unless they just want to rip people off and don't care).

Also, I'm not 100% sure what happened regarding the damage you found. Like I said I took it off very carefully and didn't pry it off from the top or anything like that. I'm not saying I don't believe you that there is damage, I'm just saying the last look I had at the piece before I put it in the box didn't show it being cracked or anything. Was the box in good shape when you received it? Maybe it was damaged during shipping.

Thanks for your help Long.

-Seth
i can send you a pic.

now how would you say those cracks would be made? by flexing the piece too far one way or the other? I am 110% sure that the piece was not like that when I sent it.

I again apologize that you have to be in the middle of this but like I said, this "shop" you are dealing with has some very shady business practices if they won't take it back based on the fact that it doesn't fit, but I'm not going to get into that again as you already know my feelings on that matter.

please test fit it and let me know what you find out.

thanks again

just don't even waste any more of my time and please send it back in its broken and bad fitting condition. I'm sick of being let down by you time after time.

yea i know. just when i was going to start on my car, i notice a huge oil leak. i took the car in to the dealer thinking they can find the leak right away. the car is in the dealer now. i will get it back today and check it out tonight. i am not making up excuses. i was really working on my car yesterday til i found the leak. if you want i will show you my paperwork.
i understand. well its just 1 more day. i can send it out if you like but i will fit it today. i want to see what wrong with the part. maybe its something i can repair. but i will overnight it to the address in vegas tomorrow. sory about the delay.
just to let you know that i have tested the part. 1 problem is my cf leather trim does not have the removeable pins like the cf trim and aluminum trim. i will send it out today if i can. the deadline for overnight is at 230pm at my post office. give me the address again.
yes. usps.com eb 463203836 us
for some reason the tracking says its getting sent back to you. can you reconfirm the address you sent it to???
god damn it.....its the address you gave me. the Las Vegas one.

i dunno but i just wasted 30 bucks. i will check when i get it back

I'm not on anyone's side here, but everyone else here who is chiming in needs to forget about the cracks. It's the fittment that's the issue. The piece was junk to begin with - the cracks didn't make it any more of a piece of junk. Junk is junk...

I didn't crack it, ever. I didn't expect long to pay for it outta his pocket... I expected him to have the people who made it take it back and give him a new one.

Long said specifically in our PM's that he doesn't think was cracked from shipping, so i didn't file a claim... now its past the time I am allowed to file one.

See my problem is that he SHOULDN'T have tried to resell that piece because it didn't fit right.

And I did contact Drew about the issue 1st and told him it didn't fit. He said he talked to Long and his way of fixing it was having me send it to long, and long sending me back a new one which long agreed to.

Hey Udubbadger sorry to hear about ur CF trim.
I know how it's frustrating to receive a product that's not
a match. You said u got it from E90P and he sold it to you.
U inspected the CF and eyeballed for fitment and it didn't work, it was
a no good part for your car.

I'm surprised you didn't have E90P refund u the money at that point,
E90P just pointed you back to Long?
Why was E90P selln first off, did he have problems with
fitment?
I was surprised u dremel'd the part knowing it wasn't a good fitment.
Personally would've just keep as is and got a replacement, a different one
all together.

Ur out a 100$ bucks, I can sympathize. if anything I would be bitch'n at
myself, lesson learned. It's good to vent, but not bash someone who's

fine they are all yours, don't play down the fact that you know drew and have gotten him shit tons of stuff for his car.

I gave you so many chances to figure this out man, waiting for almost 2 months is ridiculous and of course I waited till it was delivered back before I posted this... I'm not a fool. Just think you had ALL that time to try and figure out some kind of mutually beneficial agreement but didn't ever attempt to offer one, you just wasted my time and of course I got sick and tired of waiting for you to do something so I asked you to send it back to me. That was your choice to not do the "customer friendly" thing or at least try to in a timely manner. Whether I got it from Drew or you directly... Drew said you would stand behind the poorly fitting piece and when we spoke 1st, you seemed to act like you would also. However now that you can't resell the piece because its cracked now, nothing is in it for you and you decided to just let me eat the cost of the piece. That isn't anything close to being a good guy, vendor, mod, or an ethical business (whether you make a penny or a thousand dollars on an item).

and by the way, the other person took pics... the trim looks even worse than in the pic you sent me.

Your pic


Pics taken yesterday upon receiving



oh and from this pic you can see that when i took my pics to show Long the bad fit... it wasn't cracked




So the cracks had nothing to do with the trim fitting poorly.

Actually you are missing the point. Long did not sell the trim to the OP he bought it second hand from a third party. The original buyer said it fit fine and then sold it. How is the fitment issue Long's? If there was a fitment issue he should have went to the SELLER to try and address the issue, and wouldn't the original buyer have had the same fitment issues as well?

There are too many things that could of happened between the time that Long sold it to the original buyer and him receiving it back from Udub. Bad install, sloppy uninstall, shipping, etc, etc.

To me it seems like Long was trying to do a favor for the OP, even after reading the PM thread, it appears udub felt that way as well, but when he could not get a replacement due to it being cracked, he changed his tune and then proceeded to act like he was a customer of Long's, which he is not, and tried to place liability on him, which holds no water.

It appears that Long's only error was trying to help someone (WHO IS NOT HIS CUSTOMER). He should of said fuck off from the beginning and send him to the SELLER.

I know how it's frustrating to receive a product that's not

U inspected the CF and eyeballed for fitment and it didn't work, it was
a no good part for your car.

I'm surprised you didn't have E90P refund u the money at that point,
E90P just pointed you back to Long?
Why was E90P selln first off, did he have problems with
fitment?
I was surprised u dremel'd the part knowing it wasn't a good fitment.
Personally would've just keep as is and got a replacement, a different one
all together.

Ur out a 100$ bucks, I can sympathize. if anything I would be bitch'n at
myself, lesson learned. It's good to vent, but not bash someone who's
trying to help you. Let the dust settle. I'm telln you after waiting for my VS8 wheels for months i'm zen. but that's something different. Good luck, hope to see ur new CF trim soon, going to look sick.
e90p was just short for an e90post.com user.
i got it from evo911 who said it was new from longtran.


and I wouldn't be bashing someone if they were helping me... he didn't help me, which is why I'm here because he went back on his word and just sent me back a badly cracked up piece of trim.
