i receive my replacment in velocity red last week.this onces look a little off the color but the look alot better that the first i receive from him. if you check on his auction at the end now he write if he dont have the color available they will paint them. so the best way to do it is call him and task if he have the color you need available without painting on top of dif. color.

 

I spoke with "Big Ed" and he was very nice in handling my "non-matching" paint issue. He will be sending out a replacement parts and will setup return shipping for the parts I currently have with no additional costs to me. I'll update again when I get the parts.

 

i bought the front air dam, side flares, and rear splash guards from this guy 2 weeks ago.

the pieces do seem to be a little darker than original. but maybe thats b/c the car is 4 years old...i dunno.

i had some fitment issues with the front air dam. it looks ok. i guess. not perfect thow

 

^thanks for that info. Ive had my front splash guards on for over 2K miles with no yellow showing yet. These are the second set he sent me though

 

azpartsexpress is basically a disaster.

Parts are painted, non-original, sad imitation knock-offs.

Apart from that, they screwed me around on shipping, lied to me and left me without the bits I wanted......
Ebays best - gho for it!

hmmmm this is good info to know! I was thinking about buying from him too

 

uhh I was about to buy from him too.. was gonna buy all 4 aero parts.. he did say "they would ship NO LESS then 4 days after I paid for them" which led me to believe he may be getting them painted.. so I asked him and he hasn't responded just yet though that was a few hrs ago..

i bought 3 aero parts for him for my first 8 and they were fine..

guess ill hold off for a bit.. damn

 

say wuhh? you got another 8?

 

._.

 

 

mebe >.>

 

pics?

 

yup it took a long time for mine to come in he said it was bcuz they had to order my parts but when i finally got them they smelled like fresh paint so yeah he was just painting them and lied about why it took so long.

 

Bought Spoiler & Side Flare in Galaxy Gray a few weeks ago, colour was a bit darker and filament issues with the flares I"ve had them off twice. I'm going try again tomorrow re-tape, heat-up to form to the body better, big pain in the ***! Don't look repainted and the instructions look real Mazda OEM, parts all stamped with proper codes. Maybe there Knock-off maybe there not.... God Knows! So far not happy!
I guess you get what you pay for.
Now I have to figure something out with the flares as all the holes are drilled but the dam things keep pulling away at the front leaving a gap!
Suggestions Welcome!

 

i was thinking aboout buying from him but not anymore

 

Ah wish I had read this earlier. I just bought some Sunlight Silver rear aero flares for $65. Hopefully the yellow won't come through.

 

the flares and the front air dam are chipped up bad now...had them on for about a month and a half...looks horrible with all the yellow spots...but, it might work out great. cause im gonna call my insurance company and tell them i hit a re-tread in the road...hehe

 

FWIW not a good idea to post in an open forum about insurance fraud because you never know who is reading

 

Hahah you can do an insurance claim on an OEM part you bought?

 

not insurance fraud if you really hit something in the road at 3 am...

 

I'm debating ordering some front splash guards from this guy. Even if he is kind of scamming people, I think I'd just re-paint them myself anyways. I'd probably just sand off his paint, then primer it and use my WB from automotivetouchup.com to paint them myself. Then I have some clearcoat from them too that I could top it off with.

The color match for my eyelids was seriously 99.9% perfect and I think I have plenty left. The price can't be beat and if the fitment is good, $40 is a good price I think.

 

^ Same thing happen to my flares in three weeks just crap, I'll be debadging next spring I'll get them repainted at that time, so I'll keep my touch-up pen handy till then!

Buyers Beware Just Crap at any price!

 

I have my rear aero flares sitting in my living room. Shipping was fast and customer service was as prompt as it needed to be. Color match is very impressive for silver. I'll keep you guys posted on the yellow showing.

 

I've had my parts for less then 6 months and I'm just starting to see yellow on the side flares.

 

Does he put a clear coat over the paint he puts on over the yellow?
