RETRO-SPEC Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 well you have to think, if he's getting damaged products on delivery then it would be a real headache to have to try and get the insurance to cover it on all of them try 8 out of 10.

RETRO-SPEC Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What Im saying is its not impossible to ship an airdam. Ive done it with no problems, MSA does it all the time, Black Dragon does it all the time, etc, etc. this one is particularly dangerous to ship, its shape doesn't help. also the carbon ones are sort of brittle and they cant take the flex they have been summited, ive done fiberglass ones with no problems.

sticky280zx Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 yea and i still have no cash in my paypal that was suppose to be returned to me (refund)....paulo just isnt someone to buy from that simple. It would be great if a mod could give him "the boot" like justin since he cant make quality parts, has no phone number that works (one on site wasnt working a few weeks ago when i tried it), and seems to "avoid" getting things settled.

stravi757 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Panel sent on October 9th it should be there by now, i except the damaged one back, Thanks and let me know.Paulo. I just got it and i tried test fitting it... I think you send these things out before test fitting them. I tried putting it on with no success. The panel once again wont fit, I tried fitting it in as many different ways I could think of but it just doesn't fit! If I put one side of the panel on then I couldn't fit the other side because the studs wouldn't line up. If you look at the pictures you will see the gap from the right side to the left, the right side has no gap between the body and the panel while the left has about a 1/4 of space...The panel wont line up no matter what I do. Although this panel is much better than the last visually, its just as bad fitment wise. Once again I have another part that doesn't fit, not to mention the time all of this has taken. Its almost been 4 months! and I still dont have a panel that fits. And there were a few other problems like the tailight trim had nowhere to screw onto, and the reverse lights didnt line up in the center at all(its hard to tell by the picture but in person it looks bad) This is the right side with the studs in place(sorta) And here is the left side with the studs not fitting in place with the right side studs in place. here is the gap between the panel and body on the right side here is the gap between the body and panel on the left side And heres a side angle of what it looks like Edited October 15, 2009 by stravi757 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Not taking Retro-Spec's side in this whole tangled mess, but after looking at your pictures..... I wonder how straight your Z is. Looks like it's taken a little abuse on both rear corners which may have impacted final fit. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticky280zx Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I was about to say the body isnt so stright on the right but....I have two panels that fit the lights well. I dont know about actually in the whole thing but the lights do fit (i just sold one of them) but i have the other one and after i get the other things on this car done i will be testing it out and if it doesnt fit i will be making a trip to california (as i do atleast 3 times a year) and will be setting things up to get this settled and if its not i will be taking legal action because i am tired of the b/s that keeps happening with no phone calls, return calls, emails, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The240zProject Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 i just went out and measured the gap between my tail light and 1/4 panel without the filler panel in. Its roughly 1.5". Same as the width of the filler panel itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skib Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 i see 2 things wrong with your pictures, 1st your car is all banged up. it should still fit and not be off massively on one side 2nd you are doing it wrong you need to take off the lights install them in the panel and put the whole assembly on to the car no ♥♥♥♥. *facepalm* hes setting it up there to show that the bolts dont line up and it dosent even fit evenly on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
