When you pay $1200 for an AAR hood, you expect more from Stinger Fiberglass

Bullshit all around. If I pay $900 for a $1200 part, I can expect to see some imperfections or missing pieces. Full price. Full product. There is no option to getting what you pay for. In this case, you DID NOT get what you paid for. The cost should not increase by 2 damn cents out of your pocket to make it right. Anybody who says fix it yourself is presuming you have a shop and time to do so at your leisure. For all I know you are a buy and bolt on owner. You did not receive a bolt on part.
Yes, I could repair that too, but I would not be happy about it. You will likely end up covering the repair as the world is full of dicks.

He paid $800 ish, some tax and the rest was freight. That should have all been broken down to make things clearer. I’m not dismissing your point, but in reality it’s an easy fix for anyone doing the prep, paint and bodywork on the hood which has to be done regardless. If he can’t do it himself, he’ll be paying someone to it anyway and the fiberglass work is negligible at that point. I’m not defending the manufacturer or the trucking company as they both share responsibility, but if they won’t offer anything up in the interest of customer satisfaction, any path he chooses besides keeping and repairing it is only going to cost him time, money and frustration....
