ok just so everyone knows I've PM'd Long about this (again) so hopefully either he or Drew will step up and claim responsibility for this... if not I'll probably be forced to call my CC company and dispute the charge (which will suck for Drew if he was never the owner of the trim) but I hope it doesn't come down to that. I'd love for all of this mess to end with me saying Long IS in fact who we all thought he was, a good guy who righted the wrong in this situation. Then we can all hold hands, sing Kumbaya and go along on our merry ways.

FWIW, I dealt with the guy as well and that was a big mistake. His poor judgment put me out a hell of lot more than you….I have piece crap moulded bumper/aero lip sitting in basement that I just hoping to recoup my shipping cost from. Shit like this he needs to take a loss on and learn form it or you get post like this. Long seems like a nice guy but that were it ends.

I'm too lazy to read the full 9 pages in detail, but from what I've gathered through skimming, I agree that the cracks shouldn't have much influence on the fact that the trim had horrible fitment. But I also agree that Long shouldn't have helped you, so his effort should be appreciated. eventually, I'd like to hear evo119's thoughts

well what I got from skimming was that Long took his own time to help you, when it really was drew's responsibility because he was the seller. did I skip over something important? I'm not really on anyone's side here, so what I think about all this really has no value. I hope you get thing resolved though, good luck with this

Hey everyone,
So I've been skimming and sorta following this thread. It's about time i chimed in and give my side of the story. Basically, I ordered and bought the kit from Long. It was mine initially. The kit was brand new, never installed ever with no cracks or blemishes. I've seen the exact kit on Long's car and on Pakman's car and it was a perfect fit. I was going to put it on, but had a change of heart and decided to sell it. So I posted it and Seth (OP) bought the kit. It was sent out and a week or two passed and I get a PM stating that it didn't fit properly. I was accomadating to him as much as possible. I even asked him if he could send me pics of where it was fitting wrong. Those are the pics you see in this thread btw. I forwarded those to Long to see if he can help him out as I don't know anything about the kit and it's fitment...other than what i've seen on the other two cars. Long agreed and asked me to tell him to send the piece to him. So I did..gave Seth the address and from there it was out of my hands. I haven't heard from the OP since then and this was back in late august/early september. So that's my side of it and have the PM's to prove if necessary. As I see it, even if the piece didn't fit properly, I didn't have the knowledge to guide him since I've never taken the trim out myself and i don't even know where to start on it. That's the reason why I asked Long to help the guy and the rest is well...you see it here.... I hope that clears up any confusion and my apologies for not chiming in sooner. |

I agree Long had no reason to HAVE to help the OP...but he did agree to help out when he asked for the pieces to be sent to him, that put some obligation on his part..... As a side note though, Long's cheerleaders really aren't helping his case at all.....if anything you guys are seriously hurting his credibility as a reputable local vendor. I know for a fact I'm not buying shit from someone when I have to worry about his cheerleaders jumping on my nuts if I have a problem with a part that comes from one of his vendors.......

From reading this threads from my point of view it all boils down to this. The part does not fit period, its defective. The only reason I see this as being the OP fault is if because of those cracks that the part doesn't fit. Because the part doesn't fit period cracked or uncracked and it should be warranteed. According to evo119 he never fitted the peice to his car, so how is he at fault he thought he was getting a perfect fitting peice also (unless he did know). So I don't see this as being his fault. He described it as brand new because it was, he never fitted it. The fitment was bad cracked or not and I think he should warrant the part, because the cracks are not what makes it not fit.

longtran is overrated. he makes money without paying vendor fees as his "business" is via word of mouth or people praising him on the forums. might be giving locals good deals who in return give him free advertisement. nothing wrong with that. if i were in the same position, id profit(i.e. take advantage of) from u guys too!
