Either way, like I added before I definitely can see the imperfections. If I were you I'd go the BBB.org route.

I am actually doing everyone a favor... If you where in the market for a boat and a guy you know tells you that the customer service at a certain dealer is horrible and then another guy tells you the same, would you take your boat to that dealer... NO.. Thats what Im trying to do, just like when people complain about certain Nissan dealers... just giving my opinion and obviously others as well....
And I dont want a perfect hood Tay, just not one with a big *** wavy dent... And I want to be able to but from a company that will return my emails and phone calls when we have an issue... I have spent over 8k in my car and never had a problem with any of the parts or service.

Here Im stuck with a mangled hood and out of 700 dollars

i'd have to agree with the op on this one. if jim has ignored him for a month while still posting stuff for sale, it seems pretty obvious there was no intent to fix things with the customer.
If I truly believed I had just lost $700, I'd call him out on the forums too. Desperate times call for desperate measures..

I personally appreciate you posting youre experience with this vendor. Obviously i dont know the whole story but if he is not returning your phone calls or emails after letting him know that you have a defective part, that's unacceptable. If i recall, you said that you spoke with him and he said he would make things good with you and now is ignoring you. I would be really upset as well. From what ive read, it seems as long as you dont have a defective part, he's a good guy to buy from. (He's not intentionally trying to rip anyone off) but as a consumer, i wouldnt buy from him due to the customer service that others have experienced on this forum.

I can see the dent, and understand you frustration, but i think there are better ways to word things
I'm sure jim will take care of things just have faith. btw im sure by what has been said in here this will be lock'd. Maybe you should have left jim a message stating if he didnt respond back to you, then you'd start a thread showing another jacked hood???????good luck

I think the guy has a legitimate beef. If I dished out several hundreds dollars for a hood, I would want the thing absolutely perfect. The hood in the picture is defective and he should get a replacement or his money back. Seibon was a pretty good reputation and I would advise him to contact Seibon directly with the issue.

well if it makes you guys feel any better, I ordered a lip, came cracked in half, and I'm still waiting for a new one, it's been a month and a half for just a lip.....I contacted him on Friday, this weekend, and then yesterday. My body shop guy is REALLY busy, and I'm trying to rebook something and I still can't give the guy a date...I never complain about anything but this time I'm annoyed about how long its taking and it makes me hesitant to order from people who are vendors cause of problems.

this is how i see it, there are two sides to every one of these types of stories, and so far we have only got one side of it. i say everyone should cool their jets (to include the OP) and wait until Jim responds to this. plus calling someone a scammer is a bit far fetched. you ordered a hood, you received a hood. though it may not be the best one and has flaws, you still got merchandise for your money. now if he took your money and sent you nothing, that is a scammer and i am sure others will agree on that point. but again, i say wait until Jim has time to respond and we get his side of the story.
