Did you buy this off someone who said they were in great shape or is this a personal rant?

Don't suppose that they came with a 30-day money back guarantee?

Decent shape. You have to expect scratches and especially scrapes that cuts right through the paint on body kits on the bottom portion. The only bad part would be the huge cracks in the body kit, otherwise, it's decent. If you are getting it repainted, it shouldn't really matter since the cracks are easily fixable from that angle, but if you bought it to be installed immediately, then yeah, it's not in that great of shape..

Also, you should have asked what it looked like before it shipped. I would think the seller told you about the cracks.

Those are jacked. No way those should have ever been advertised as good shape. They are thrashed and need a lot of work. I would demand a refund for the jack hole who sold them to you.

on the car you wont really notice... the person who sold them to you probably didnt even notice while they were on the car...

and most likely, you will damage them more once they are on the car or while installing them...

wait until they are beat up more before you fix them...
