Let them know it was damaged. File a claim. They can't charge a restocking fee if it was damaged in transit.

if they start being ***'es(streetstyler.com) about it then i will but there real cool and it might be the usps that fuc$ked up on there part. I mean they have great prices and good custumer service so i dont see why not they woudnt send me another one. But i really dont know what there gonna do about me shipping it back to them cus this is at least another two week wait for me to send it to them and have them send it back , and i dont know if they will send me my money for the shipping and etc. So its kinda a waste. but who knows. I normally dont ever buy lips or wings or any of that stuff online. I buy it in differ state then drive there and get it when i visit there but i have no reason to visit cus all my relatives that live there are not there at the moment. SO we will see. but that suggestion willl stay in my mind.

Why do you keep bumping?

Just wait until they respond to your calls and e-mails. There is nothing you can do until you get in contact with them.

Depending on the size of the crack, try using JB Quick then sand it smooth, primer & paint.

yea i was thinking that. but is the chemicals in jb quick/weld to strong for abs? IM thinking bout using this flex stuff from a hobby store near my house, it says you can use it on plastic and im assuming it can flex. thanks for the info motor head.. thats probably gonna be 1 of the 3 im gonna try if the others dont work.

when i got my lip, it was broken in half lol, i talked to the company i got it from and got like all but 20 bucks back and i kept the lip lol, i just got some fiberglass and mended the 2 parts together again, then to take it to another step, i took that expanding foam and fill the entire back of the lip with it. There was still a very small crack visible in the front, so i used a thick primer and it filled it up.

heres a little update... "The shipping company is denying the claim for full damage only partial which is $15. That lip is actually usable. When the shop primers the lip they can actually mend the crack together, sand it and will not be noticeable or affect the structure of the lip. Since it is underneath it won't be a problem.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to assist you
further. Thanks for being such a good customer and we greatly appreciate
your business. Please visit us online at http://www.StreetStyler.com
