oh btw, i don't know if you know how business works sometimes, but you can't go out there telling everyone where you get parts from ... its call competition ... no hard feelings though ... and also please don't make assumptions that Long makes a profit on all the stuff he sells ... i know for a FACT that he sells to friends at cost and many times if he can, below it as well ... and please don't take my post as ganging up on you, but sometimes, if you don't know for sure or all the facts, you can't go around making assumptions. |

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. |

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. Gary |

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 |

No soup for you and none of my money either. See if you can enroll in a customer relations course at the adult education college. You need it.

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...

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. Last edited by UdubBadger; 11-13-2008 at 02:01 PM.. |

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 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. |

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. |

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 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. |
