The box looks perfect, there is no holes in the boxs what so ever. There is small dings * Note this photo was taken after the box was open, I didnt see any foot prints before hand, Be that as it may the foot prints are on the other side not the side with the cracks..

The Hood looks very cheap IMO, the inner workings of the hood have chips and scratches down to the fiber glass. I honestly am very unhappy with this hood. Im still waiting for a reply on what will be done, For now the hood is sitting in my garage. SIGH

 

doh

shoe prints after opening box

curses!

 

Sorry man..That sucks.

I bought mine of ebay and got it in PERFECT Condish.

 

That's ____ty dude. I hope you get a full refund or maybe a new hood.

 

Yeh im pretty f*in ____ed right now...

 

talk to racingsolution.. he'll take care of that. nothin to worry about. cept shipping it back maybe

 

I shot over a Email to them today, I really hope I don't have to pay to reship A product I received damaged I will see what happens and Will be sure to post about the process. Im just very ____ed off right now, as most of us would be. Shipped out the 13th, Got it the 25th( Witch is DHL's fault not Racing Solution) And then I get it open it up BAM cracks.. SIGH :?

 

could be DHL's fault too. the box looks somewhat smooshed... it should have been insured when shipped... (ie. Make DHL pay for it.)

 

If you are looking at the box in the picture thats after the hood was taken out, So it may look "smooshed" when I received the box it looked perfect, Even at that one of the cracks looks to be under the clear coat, Also the box would have to be really messed up if infact all the crack's were from shipping because the inside shell has about 5 cracks/scratches aswell.

 

Hey Paul.. just got word of the thread.. Keep the original packaging.. and we'll pick up that hood and ship you another hood at no charge to you.

 

Same day reply, I like that!! Thank You!, I emailed you that info let me know if there is anything else you need, I was bummed out all day now im happy again

You can see pretty quickly it's worth buyin from Brian
even if things don't go perfect right away.. he'll work through stuff.

 

RacingSolutions is a good company but man they keep getting screwed with crappy CF hoods...glad to see he corrects it quickly

 

Has this happened before?

Wonder if his situation ever was resolved.

 

Sweet thanks for that info, I hope my process don't take long.

 

no prob I just would like to know if they ever resolved his hood...

 

That xB hood was from a different manufacturer... We no longer carry their products due to numerous problems with the quality of their hoods..

 

smart man...who do you go through now? Im really interested in getting a hood soon...

 

Just an update Brian emailed me today, He is trying to work everything out.
