Agreed. My point is sogy can walk away with the right skin and few $$ short for new paint job.

But the seller did make a profit. Chris Jones even told me the dealer price was about 150. (give or take)
I'm tired of all of this.
Like I mentioned before, Chris why couldn't you have just given me one of those wrx painted bumpers you have in the back? You did tell me you had a red, silver and black( I think) bumper that was a "mistake" aka: Sold the body shop the wrong type of bumper.
You said that those bumpers were a total loss and you were pretty much going to sell them for below cost.
Sorry I haven't had time to reply to this thread. I've been running around here and there at work.

6 sogy refused the offer by Chris to sell his pained, and sell him not painted at a discount
7 Chris is made look like an *** for giving him options
SS and EQTuning are just an example from the past. Most of you trusted and believed SS was the bastes tuner, now it turns out he did half-*** jobs on a number of cars. What lesson did you learn from this? Obviously none. I'm done arguing here. Believe what you want, it's your problem not mine.

Ok you know what that sounds good right about now.
I'll show you how much I paid for it (with paint) and get a check from chris (since you said that he did offer to sell it for me)
With the money that I get from chris, I'll get a new skin and get it painted.
Problem solved.
Since you and Chris are friends, pass this message along if you see it before he does.
So there you go you did offer to sell my bumper, I'll sell it to you so you could sell it to someone that needs it.

my 2 cents...
I manage a customer service department for a large corporation, and if we **** something up, we eat the whole cost. $200 isn't worth ruining our reputation with customers, or worth losing potential customers.
In this case, I cannot fathom how Maita won't simply eat the cost of the painting, offering to paint the new bumper for free in exchange for the one that was incorrectly sold. When Maita has to know that a failure to do so will cause threads like this to occur. Maita cannot come out positive in this. $200 is a lot to lose out on the future sales of vehicles to the many people that read a forum like this.
I've never had any issue with Maita, and have been very pleased when I've gotten parts from the parts counter in the past. I was planning on buying a Leg Gt for my wife later this year at Maita. With stories like this, I may be looking elsewhere...
CN:Paint his bumper for him at no cost, and come out looking like you have decent cusotmer service. It's worth $200.

it's not like maita doesn't have their own body shop right down the road. i'm sure they'll be paiting a WRB something or other pretty soon and can hit a bumper with a few coats.
this quote sticks out as kind of scary...
so he's made this mistake before? not a good sign. i wonder if he tells the body shop to suck it when he sells them the wrong part. probably not... a customer is a customer, whether it's internal or a walk in.

Glad it all worked out Ed. Maybe you could donate the other bumper to the wagon mafia.

HAHA That's awesome, I glad atleast SOA gives a **** about their customers and does what is right even when there is a dealer that is a complete **** up. Good Job Ed at not accepting the KY and taking it up the butt because Mike Jones is a dip****.
