Seems Like A Good Deal ... maybe?
Ok... so i put a large dent in my stock bumper, and went to the shop to order an Octane R34 front bumper (fg)... they place the order and expect the bumper to come in within 4 days. 4 days pass no bumper. They call the warehouse and asks wats going on, they seem to fix everything up and get the bumper shipped, and say itll be another week. so im like allright fine just get me my bumper. so the next week goes by and still no bumper in the store. the shop decides to change the dealer their using and get the bumper from another warehouse. they again say another week but ... yep u guessed it, no bumper. .:SORRY FOR THE LONG EXPLANATION:. and this goes on for another 3 weeks and FINALLY the bumper comes in unpainted. the day after it comes in im goin on vacation for 2 weeks so they rush it to paint overnight and install it that morning. however in return for my patience, they decide to throw in a free AEM Cold Air Intake and another "something special" which has not been installed yet. U think i got out with the upper hand or just about even?

Rep Power: 0 The something special is probably a muffler they are gonna weld on or something. I'd wait a couple more weeks for a bumper if i knew i was gonna get something free. Seems like you got a little bit of an upper hand. But if it was me I would have canceled the order a long time ago and ordered from someone reputable online.

Rep Power: 364 I'd be a little worried about the rushed paint, but if it was perfect, I'd say you got an awesome deal. It wasn't the shop's fault, but they're taking the blame for it, making up to you and then some.

Rep Power: 364 Well, if the paint is messed up, I would say it's a bad deal. I don't care what they throw in on top of it - it's still not a perfect paint job and I wouldn't accept that.
