When you pay $1200 for an AAR hood, you expect more from Stinger Fiberglass
bought a couple of doors for heidi's 69 mach. Pretty good pieces but on the top edge beltline area there was a crease that would have had to be filled. I dont think I could have gotten it to 'dolly' out. took a picture, called summit, bam! new door came and they didnt want the old one back. I think it was a Scott Drake. At $350 a pop. Pretty good service I'd say. Stand behind their product, didnt nickel and dime me. Wish I could say the same for 'dashpadsonly'......I waited 7-8 months for those guys and they only responded when I called my CC company to dispute charge.
Its gotta be tough being in the parts business, but that should not be made the consumers problem when you are shelling out time/money to keep them in business. YOU worked for the money you sent them, why should you put more time into it? I have heard people say before on here and I agree with them....If the product, weather its a $5 cup holder or a glass hood, doesnt fit, and manufacturer/distributer doesnt hear about it, it wont get fixed.
They should pay for shipping back to them. Run your car without a hood for a second and get a quality piece somewhere else....especially since the guy is acting like a child. If the guy agrees to a shop quote, then he still has the opportunity to save face. You will give him the space to rectify the situation and let us all know how he came through and how you, even though it was a pain, recommend his product. But he has dug a deep hole, so he has got to come up big.
I like the idea of changing the title so it pops up on a google search.
