This guy bought my wheels for 2100 + perfect Chargespeed lip. He promised me that under the plasticdip the lip is perfect and only has only has some scratches underneath. I took his words for it cuz I see his cars on all the socal meets and stuff. I helped him out thinking that I would be helping a fellow gt86 owner. And now I'm paying for it. Help me find this guy!

I took the plasticdip out and found this!

It might even be a replica lip too. :\ So sorry you have to go though this. I'll keep a look out for this dude and his car.

hope it is a lesson, you should never take anyone's word when it comes to buying things from people you don't personally know. I'm guessing he's not returning any calls or texts since this had to be posted?

Ya I was wondering the same thing! That is a lot of damage to not show through the dip.

Yeah - sorry to hear about this situation. It would be great if people could be honest when it comes to selling, and trading things - because most of us understand all of the work that goes into earning the money that we have; the sad reality is we live in a world where it is now your responsibility as the buyer to check, and double-check things when it comes to making your purchase - instead of the responsibility being on the seller to deliver the item that was agreed upon in the condition that it's presumed to be in, based on the diction that transpired between the two of you.

When it comes to making a private purchase from a single individual, I absolutely would have done a bit of a background check-up - such as viewing that FB page, etc that you've posted, and that would have stopped me from furthering the transaction right there. Someone who poses for selfies while holding up their middle finger, and then posts it over the public domain is demonstrative of exactly what it looks like they are - a ****ing scumbag.

Well that isn't fair!
Maybe he had a horrible nose picking accident and his finger is parlayed in that position!
