Default Problem with Mugen S1 Bucket Seat

I purchased a pair of Mugen S1 Bucket Seats from King Motorsports about a month ago,
and one of them has a defect like the photo shown. Just received a replacement from
King and it still has the same defect at the same spot. Did anyone order Mugen seats
recently from King and has the same problem or am I just out of luck?

It probably has something to do with the way that they are packaged and shipped. I'd send them the pics and call them back. Those seats are too expensive to have defects in them.

What kind of material is that? Some sort of foam? If so it may pop out when it warms up, but DO NOT PUT A HEAT GUN TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later!

Genuine JDM defects? What will they think up next? That sux man is that cracked under the surface? Or does it look like they finished the seat and said "who cares will send it to the stupid americans?" For how much you pay King should make sure before they just send you something as a replacement. What can you do?

the spider web you see isnt a crack, its just the way the seat backings are made that there are minor imperfections. the side brackets cover it up anyhow and its not visible. it doesnt destroy function and its fine. but i guess some people are **** about minor imperfections.
