New fender strakes
Re: New fender strakes
Just tuned in....and I see what I hoped I wouldn't see happened. Kid if you are tuning in, which I know you are...you need to refund what you can if you aren't going to provide a product, even if the product doesn't live up to your customer's expectations. This is your charactor on the line here, not just business. You tried, and people weren't satisfied. Some of it not your fault, but when money exchanges hands, there has to be restitution. So, make things right here...everyone makes mistakes, and mistakes can be forgiven, but not if you don't make an effort...contact your customers by pm...and work something out....move on...it's the holidays....it's a forgiving time...but not if you don't communicate...

They look ever better with the flat black on the inserts, but since it has been such crappy weather here, I do not have a decent picture yet on the car....

What the h3ll??????? Can you make any sense out of what you just posted? I can overlook your using "there" when you should have used "their" (multiple times), but I still cannot make any sense out of this post.

Had to give you some **** LOL
At first I painted the entire strake graphite and did not like it because it did not look right, flat blacked the inserts and it made it feel a little more like actual strakes. On the car they look great, except all the salt covering them at the moment

I will get pics when able, it is hard to comprehend from the description, but when you see it, it will be an ah-ha moment

Much more visually appealing to me.
