I don't blame yeah. When I 1st saw that scuff I was like "oh hell no!".....then I remembered what you paid for them and then I said something like "oh no ******* way!". I would demand something comped back to you or make them send you a new set without the mistakes. I do think they are waaaaaay overpriced which is why I don't have a set yet.

Exactly!

I opened the box and I was like, "ok so they got the finish wrong, still looks nice" and a little later "hmmm, not the best quality..." and then it hit me "I PAID $319 FOR THESE AND THEY'RE ****** AND ****** UP!!!"

Look awesome.

I ordered a set of MGP's Friday, $199.99 free shipping from AutoAnything. I got an email this morning from AutoPartsWarehouse with a discount code for $179.10. So I went to AutoAnythings chat line and told the guy about AutoPartsWarehouse's price and AutoAnything is crediting my account $21.89, final cost shipped to my door $178.10. :head3:

That sucks David, that's a lot of cash for those. Like I said I bought the ram and ram head for like 179 and been very happy with them. On for over a year and look much better than stock. Hope they rectify the problem.

Thanks Hipps... I am trying not to be a cry baby about it, lol! :baby:

I sent them an email and pics and told them I want $100 and I'll keep them "as is" or I'll return them for a full refund. We'll see how it works out.

They do look VERY nice on the truck!:naughty:

I gotta say they look stunning on the truck, with that said no way I would let them hustle me out of $319 for something that's not close to perfect when so many people have had positive reviews on the less expensive ones.

You I know your positive patty all the time.. But it's ok to ***** sometimes.
No need to hold it in all the time. The world is not full of daisy's and butterflys. :roflsquared::):roflsquared::)

$300 for some fake brake calipers. I would be pretty pissed off too...

Hope they treat you right. Wish I could by some blank ones and have my friend powdercoat them for me.

Sucks about the finish, but you did do a good job on the design and color combo. They look pretty good with your wheels. Even if they were perfectly finished, I'm still thinking they are way over-priced. But, I'm a cheap ******* when it comes to buying cosmetic parts. It's just hard to shell out that kind of money, for me. I don't mind paying for quality products, but this makes me really skeptical of the company. Interested to see what they do for you.

That's weird because mine were flawless and I had zero issues with the finish or materials used. Granted this was 5 years ago so maybe something has changed in their QA. That's sucks though and I'd be pissed too.

I'd keep calling them until they have no choice but to listen. Also don't be afraid to tell them that you belong to a numerous amount of automotive forums and your reviews could be read by millions.

They look really good on the truck! Thinking I may need some to help liven up the white Sport. At least you have a product to complain about. I shelled out $161 to Graphic Express and got crap. Seller blames everyone but his bad cut. Hope you catch a break on the price!

They seem to be on the list of vendors who the discount coupons do not apply too!

Looks good man... did you hear back from them?

Thanks man! Not yet. I'll bug them tomorrow.

It's not that I am that positive all the time, it's just that I don't let little things get to me... and caliper covers are not the end of the world, lol! :baby:

Thanks man! I like paying more for quality, in this case I just paid more, lol!

That's a great point, thanks! I will let them know about the forums I am on. I bought these through CARiD who happens to be a vendor on here too. They are the ones I am talking to about this issue.

Thanks man! I did read somewhere about your Graphic Express issue, sorry about that...
Btw, I would love to see white caliper covers with black or red print on a white truck, that would look great!

They seem to be on the list of vendors who the discount coupons do not apply too!

I couldn't find any coupon codes or sales that applied to the covers when I looked. The AutoAnthing sale excluded mgp, iirc.

Thanks! At this point I would rather take a discount on them and move on. You have to look closely to realize the black isn't flat black the way I ordered it. For that matter, my wheels have to be rotated to the gap to even be able to see the logo, lol!

I gotta say they look stunning on the truck, with that said no way I would let them hustle me out of $319 for something that's not close to perfect when so many people have had positive reviews on the less expensive ones.

Thanks bro! The price was a little steep and had they come in as order I would have been fine with the price. Oh well, let's see how they handle it.
I try to rate a company, not by the mistake they made, but rather by how they fix the mistake...
