When you pay $1200 for an AAR hood, you expect more from Stinger Fiberglass

And I'm a pretty realistic guy -- I realize things don't always go perfectly, but the poor packing job resulted in damage to a brand new, full price hood. I'm not okay with that. If it were a discounted hood with damage noted prior to the sale, different story.
I get that and agree. All of my posts are based on your post #3. If I understood that post correctly, the owner flat refuses to work with you abd said fix it. I’m not saying you should be ok with that. All of my post are from the perspective of “where do we go from here”.
