what dealer did you purchase it from. You can go flaming on a well known company without giving detail. what did you buy it from, and how much did you pay for it.

I've heard bad thing about everybody..... That's what you get sometimes. Doesn't mean it's right, but it happens. Not everything comes out perfect.

These seem a bit over the top...i dont think they would ship out/sell products that are this bad off. <U>Most</U> of the VIS stuff ive seen was top notch...fitment wasnt perfect..but the quality was. For me to further evaluate your statements im gonna need to see some pics.

Thats weird. I have personally picked up two cf hoods and the duckbill spoiler and they didnt have any defects at all. This is the first i've heard of VIS doing this.

Also the first bad thing Ive heard about vis quality.
I just bought myself a hood and I still feel confident that it will be just great (quality and fitment)
Call the distributor, vis, send pictures, etc. I bet, if its as bad as you say, someone will fix this issue

I got a carbon fiber wing from them too and I got it in the same condition. The ENTIRE seem was cracked up, it didn't fit right and it leaked. I called them and they basically told me to F@$# Off. Poor customer service. I have had 4 VIS hoods though and even a cf lip they were all fine just the spoiler was all fucked up

I have seen some, maybe 5% of bad VIS parts but they have always been able to fix the problem.Maybe you got the deal because they were stuff that was sitting for a long time.I havent seen a perfect bodykit since I've been painting cars.7 yrs and counting.

I'm sure defects do get out the door, but that seems a little extreme from the VIS I'm used to...cracks, gaping holes, and completely missing badges.

Pics please.
