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

I agree with that as well. In this case, he has to with any direction he chooses. It’s a matter of how much of either. Some people are willing to spend boat loads of both for a matter of principle. I pick those battles carefully. We’re where we are in customer service because morals, ethics, respect toward fellow humans and pride in work and craftsmanship are not taught nor valued in this country anymore. If they were, this guy would’ve got a great hood packaged in an impressive manner delivered by careful and courteous trucking companies....
So next time you buy a new car or truck and you find a door ding in it you are going to be alright when the salesman tells you “ ah, is no big deal you can fix that yourself”? Is that the kind of condition or damage that is acceptable now days? Maybe yours but not mine.
