New Carbon Fiber Front Splitter

I received my Carbon Fiber Splitter today from LX Car Parts on AliExpress. It came damaged with a crack along the front seam and has some poorly finished edges. Also the bottom of the lower piece is not even a complete part. No installation parts or instructions came. Needless to say I don’t recommend buying from them. Maybe that’s what I should expect when buying from China.

Damn that sucks. It really is a luck of the draw ordering from there.

Ah dang it! Feel sorry for you brother! I ordered one in February off of Aliexpress and it came out great! The seller even shared pictures of it while it was in the making!

Yes, and I tried to get them to send a new part but they said no, even though I showed them the broken picture. They said I could have discount on a new part. Right, I’m going to give them more money LOL. That’s the kind of service you can expect from The Chinese Ali Express/Alibaba.

Dispute the charge with your credit card.

samvora, is yours from the same seller on Aliexpress or a different one?

UltraDave BAD: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000319544916.html
