Exclamation SoleLaced

Just bought a pair of RS1 side skirts from SoleLaced. He was very professional about handling the money order and the shipping was fast. There was a crack in the skirts which he mentioned and showed me a picture of it in a PM. It was no big deal. However, when i received my side skirts, there were quite a few more cracks than he had mentioned, many sequences of hairline scratches, and paint runs. Although he was quite professional, I will most likely not deal with him in the future due to the information he left out.

Image sent in PM from SoleLaced regarding the crack:

Excess cracks, hairline scratches, and paint runs he did not inform me about:

nikki is a great guy and i dont think that he would intentionally lie about something. the runs and other cracks would be hidden once they are installed anyways.

well i dont know about you guys, but im a perfectionist and i dont like driving around with side skirts that have cracks and paint runs on them. one crack is fine. however there were multiple others i was not informed about. just reporting the facts.

im sorry, but when he informs me that there is one minor defect, i expect it in almost prime condition. its false information is what it is.

oh i know! how about i sell you a CF hood, for example, and say theres only one small spot of oxidation. then you get it and theres many oxidation spots with some scratches and other defects. then i say "welp its a used part, what did you expect?"
