Default Urethane Body Kit Help

Hey Guys
i got my Urethane Body kit in today but it was all smashed up . I took it out of the bubble wrap and there is a huge crease in the rear bumper and its kind of deformed. Is this a big deal or is it a small issue? Is there anything i can do tofix this? some one told me to lay it out in the sun. Any help would be great.

thanks everyone
Will

Is this a big deal HECK YEAH!!!! You did mention HUGE CREASE right??? send it back a get a new one . Wait useally if the driver leaves and if you sign for it allready you basically cant do much but send it back for a restocking fee. Sorry.

Doesn't Automotive Mods use a quote on all their posts "We offer perfect fitment on any of these products or you receive a brand new one on us" I say call them and get another one!

Did they make you wait 3 Months. I called today and he said I had to wait 3 months for any of their kit to arrive cause they come from hong kong or something. Sounded a bit wierd. He also said, they charge the whole amount up front too.

when my kit got here the bubble wrap was torn away. I think after your prime that stuff those imperfections go away.
