Should be more concerned about the cracks than the chips. It's hard to get chips on the side, but maybe the guy that had it had really low car. It really will be too low to notice although you notice it because you expected to be in great shape. Just politely talk to the seller and I'm sure you guys can work something out. To paint will probably cost you 200 which includes the remolding and sanding of the cracked parts. Test fit them first.. You probably can't even notice the cracks once they are on since they are on the bottom and sides according to the picture.

HMMMMM ????? Factors involved here. How much did u pay compared to new ones???? One things for sure ---Skirts take a beating, But if they werent taking the beating ur door would be.
Tough to buy used stuff---Iv had to bite the bullit once or twice, but the determaining factor is always, What did u pay? Whats it going to cost to fix?

And what would it have cost for new/painted

That's not even in great shape. My Greddy sides are in better shape than that. At worst, there's a few spider cracks and tiny paint chip due to incompetent guys who try to jack up my car using the wrong equipment. $550? You got ripped.

No dude, screw that. Those are definitly not in great shape. I would pay no more than $125 for a good repair and repaint. Unfortunately that is normal wear and tear for someone who drives thier car everyday.

Caveat emptor, especially on the internet.

I do think you're not so bright for assuming parts painted to match someone else's car will look good on yours off-the-bat but you are def. in the right feeling upset at the condition, those are in "Decent" shape at best.... def. not "Great"

Purchased from an eBay Seller?? If so, I'd file a fraud claim (assuming you used PayPal) and get your money back.

They look pretty f*cked up to me.

I said or not, meaning they are not in good shape. I was just asking to see if you saw pics of them before you bought them. I would send them back.

Not to be a dick but...$419 (Shipping Included)

You could have had brand new skirts mounted and painted for about $50 more than you paid for those pieces of $hit.

It would definitely **** me off that he is trying to play it like it wasn't cracked when he shipped it and UPS must've done it. Those cracks look pretty consistent with wear and tear and somewhat expected after using them on the road for a while. But to try and cover it up and say UPS did it would get me fired up.
