Dude call the state attorney general and leave a voice mail so they can shut him down. I had to when the local brake team where scaming people. F**Kers turned my rotors and told me they replaced them. Take that sack of *****! you made the six 'oclock news!

Dang, sorry bro. Proves my point that you don't know what you're going to get from this guy.

Yea, I'm the "only one" who has had an issue. Right.

I had problems with Mr. Azparts - three times I contacted him, three times I arranged to buy the front lip, finally told him what to do with his lip.

He's a dolt.

Sounds about right... there's a bubble about 2mm thick near the bottom and at least 20 different dust bumps

Not to mention of course the overspray...

I still have not mounted the new guards due to all the issues everyone is having. Can you buy clear film for them?

I wonder what changed on his end to offer such crappy quality. I have read several positive reviews which why I purchased from him.

Well the guy just called me form AZPARTS and said blah blah "we bought out a bunch of going out of business dealers in AZ"... "everything's OEM new"...

He said if I wanted he would have another set painted black at his body shop, then painted black again and clearcoated and send them out to me by Friday. So by next Friday I'll let you know if the quality is any better. The guy seemed very nice on the phone and understanding of the problem

Hopefully they can change their rep...

^^ I bought the mudflaps as well. I was initially please until just recently I noticed small chips in the paint. Once that had started the chips grew, revealing an ugly yellow undercoat. Long story short, i have since pulled them and tossed them. Not to mention its deja vu all over again with the front air dam, also purchased from them..just and excuse for me to get my burnout lip i guess. Waste of money in any case.

Have you guys taken the time to actually read some of the feedback for that dude?! For every negative or neutral comment there is a smart-*** response, seemingly not taking the blame for anything apparently. Oh well, live and learn, no more buying from azpartsexpress.

I wonder what the paint process is for his parts? I thought about sending them back but if it is the same process then doubtful it is worth the time.

That's what I thought, but he's doing it all at his expense so I though, why not?

GL. Hopefully it is not a waste of your time and you get what you paid for.

He said if I wasn't satisfied he'll give me a full refund, so I'll just sit back and play the waiting game until the "new" guards arrive lol

My new flares should be here today. Regardless of what he sent me I'm going to have them wrapped in some 3M clear bra material which should protect it from chipping. I'm not going to condemn the guy, he did seem nice on the phone and did replace my part, and the air dam I bought from him over a year ago looks great still. I just wish he was a little more honest in his ebay auctions.

I'm wondering if there is a new paint process. Or if he just started painting yellow OE parts and his paint person is not properly prepping the surface before applying the paint.

^^ make sure you take a chip from the paint to see if it's yellow beneath... better to be safe than sorry

So I got the replacement flares. The paint doesn't look quite as good as the original set, but it looks like it's been sanded, painted and clearcoated. I also had some 3M paint protection put on the leading edge. After a couple days of driving, no yellow. We'll see how it holds up.

I cut into the old flare and there is black plastic beneath the yellow, so it's not yellow plastic. Yellow primer? I don't know.

I wonder if the yellow was primer or maybe a flex additive. Ross_Dawg, if you payed via Paypal, just be aware you only have a certain amount of time to place a claim if he does not come thru. I found that he was trying prolong my transaction with him. Was it in purpose, not sure, but I made sure I put in my claim before the time was up.

I bet he'll try to pawn off the parts I sent back. Of course he was nice on the phone. He knew I was no idiot after all my emails to him.
