Hey guys, i recently got a GT4 front end but the hood came badly dented. Is it worth fixing or should i just get another hood?
      What do you guys think? its really bad. I am fighting with the shipping company right now to claim the damages. |

Same thing happened to me I bought my set from "Everspring-Sports" on ebay I paid a premium price for it too the seller was too cheap to properly package the items I didn't know who to blame the shipper or seller all I know is that I won't ever buy from him again I have 2 giant paper weight sitting in my garage now welcome to the club.

The seller said if I wanted a refund I would get only what I paid for the items back minus shipping so I would get -$600 back plus I would have to ship the old items back another -$400 so all I would get back in the end is $400 when I paid $1400 would you guys consider that fair ?? The seller had $800 in insurance from the shipping company so I'm guessing he filed a claim and probably pocketed the money and sent me another hood (which also had a big scuff across the hood) but I had a body shop fix that for me and I was able to salvage the bumper with some minor body filler so in the end I spent $2k in total for the gt4 hood and bumper w/fogs and no crash bar. Its true everspring_sports can get you st205 body parts but their from junked cars them self's and you would have to have minor to major body work done to them just to make them look "right" on the car. If its true www.partznet.com can get you the hood and bumper new but they just can't ship them I would gladly drive 2 days straight to their dealer and pick them up next time. -------------------- **If you can read this you are too close**
