Angry BEWARE: Do not buy from yahoo

I just received my wing from KY and it looked horrible. The paint did not match at all, there was damaged and knicks on the wing and there was finger prints all over it. The led brake light fell apart. It was just horrible. I have to take it to the body shop to see if the can salvage it and repaint it again. yahoo FTL . Here are some pics of what i received..just horrible.

Well fingerprints aren't a big deal since you can wipe them off.

I think more important is what happened when you complained to them about the issue--did you talk to them, and are they doing anything to resolve it? I don't care to stand up for them, but without talking about their customer service in your post it seems too preliminary to put out a buyer's beware.

And man that color really doesn't match. Is that Ralleye Red?

its fingerprints in the paint/clearcoat, and it took me forever trying to receive my order after i have to complain email them lots of times. I really thought i got scammed just like the turbo-mafia ordeal, but this just comes in terrible condition. I took it to the auto body shop just right now so they can repair the large gashes and knicks and repaint it again. another 350 bucks down the drain on top of the 400 i lost for this POS.

i don't think so, or it would end up the same, or get the runaround. The part shipped from China and painted at China. Im surprised that I even received anything at all. I took one for the team.

At least he received a product. I'm not defending them, that's ridiculous that it came like that..

What part did you order? That doesn't really look like anything.. center portion of the Mugen rep wing?

And since I'm posting here anyway, dude take your car to a detailer. Even the paint on your car looks like crap, scratches all over it.

They aren't a vendor, this is why. This is disappointing, I was looking forward to my Type R replica kit on my car

This is, perhaps, why they called themselves "K-Y" motorsports, so they can screw you in the sphincter.

Flip that around and it makes sense. It looks like they gave him habi red instead of ralleye red. Still, that doesn't explain the paint chips and prints in the paint. Completely, 100% unacceptable. The OP should demand they pay for the repaint and fixing he now has to do.
