OEM Aero Flares from azpartsexpress
#102
I've got other small modifications in mind that made me completely forget about picking up a front air-dam for spring. I'm some glad I happened to come across this here thread with everyone's feedback on the quality of the product being sold.
I'll definitely be holding off on that now.

Yep, got my replacement set today. Same thing as Aipex. Yellow under the black but black under the yellow... so I just installed them anyway. They look pretty good, we'll see in a few weeks

I sent him a message through eBay which may not be the best way. Lets see if he responds. If anyone has his direct email address then you should send him a message as well.

lison to this guys!!!!!!! when i made a best offer with azpartsexpress, he didnt want me to pay with paypal, he wanted me to pay over the phone, i was like theres no way i will do that, i tryed to pay from ebay but it didnt let me, so i waited a few days and he keeps sending me emails to call him, i told him i only work thru paypal, so i ask for his email to send money thru paypal, so i sent it and he said you send it to a bad email with paypal, i was getting all red and pissed, so i told him why would you give me a email that didnt even work with paypal, so after a week later hes like i got your payment, it was the front Air Dam in winning blue, yeah it looks good, i can see a few spots that was not perfect, so its ok, i installed it, it seems OEM, but i dont think he wanted a paper trail with this order, thats what it seems like to me

Hope you to see you join the thread to address our concerns
Thanks!

So I got the replacement flares. The paint doesn't look quite as good as the original set, but it looks like it's been sanded, painted and clearcoated. I also had some 3M paint protection put on the leading edge. After a couple days of driving, no yellow. We'll see how it holds up.
I cut into the old flare and there is black plastic beneath the yellow, so it's not yellow plastic. Yellow primer? I don't know.

I actually didn't drill the holes in the side of my car to install these, just the one in the wheel well. I just put a big square of 3M tape on each of the tabs where those clips go. If these turn out yellow, I'll just go back to the no flare look.

I live in the UK and i have bought the front air dam, now i am regretting it as i don't know what to expect. i have also got the side aero flares and rear aero flares from azparts. has any1 had any more dealings with this guy? he has two accounts on ebay but is it the same guy?
#121
i bought mine from him but the color didnt match my paint they look dif, way lighter ,i send them back and he told me after he inspect the flares that seem that they use one coat only and that he was going to send me a set soon. let you know when i get the set....
#123
well i got front mudflaps and they looked fine, just a bit of sticky resin and its not coming off with anything and when i scratched it, it was black under the red paint. so it looks promising. just have to wait for the front air dam, side flares and rear flares now.

I do not have any experience working with paint so bear with me
Thoughts of doing a light sand and adding a few layers of clear? Or is this not worth it if the initial paint and prep was a poor job?

as long as you wet sand with a really high grit of sandpaper it would help protect from the paint chipping away, maybe even fading issues. But if there are problems such as discoloration or imperfections in the paint I cant say that it would actually help
