Bent strut bar end plate...!
I bought a used DC sports strut bar from someone on here and when I received it today one of the end plates is bent where you bolt it down to the car. Either I got ripped off or the guys at UPS are douche cakes but yea...is it possible to hammer it back into place with like a rubber mallet or something?

Here are the images I took RIGHT BEFORE I put it in the box; it had to have been a UPS error:
I will file a claim with UPS, but you will have to bare with me as this is the first claim I have ever made.

you can hammer it today and if it works out LMK, if not i will continue as planned and call UPS.
just let me know. i'll check back tonight.
It was packaged the same way TRD sent me my strut bar, so I don't see how the packaging could have done it. but either way, let me know what's up.
