i receive my replacment in velocity red last week.this onces look a little off the color but the look alot better that the first i receive from him. if you check on his auction at the end now he write if he dont have the color available they will paint them. so the best way to do it is call him and task if he have the color you need available without painting on top of dif. color.

I spoke with "Big Ed" and he was very nice in handling my "non-matching" paint issue. He will be sending out a replacement parts and will setup return shipping for the parts I currently have with no additional costs to me. I'll update again when I get the parts.

i bought the front air dam, side flares, and rear splash guards from this guy 2 weeks ago.

the pieces do seem to be a little darker than original. but maybe thats b/c the car is 4 years old...i dunno.

i had some fitment issues with the front air dam. it looks ok. i guess. not perfect thow

azpartsexpress is basically a disaster.

Parts are painted, non-original, sad imitation knock-offs.

Apart from that, they screwed me around on shipping, lied to me and left me without the bits I wanted......
Ebays best - gho for it!

uhh I was about to buy from him too.. was gonna buy all 4 aero parts.. he did say "they would ship NO LESS then 4 days after I paid for them" which led me to believe he may be getting them painted.. so I asked him and he hasn't responded just yet though that was a few hrs ago..

i bought 3 aero parts for him for my first 8 and they were fine..

guess ill hold off for a bit.. damn

Bought Spoiler & Side Flare in Galaxy Gray a few weeks ago, colour was a bit darker and filament issues with the flares I"ve had them off twice. I'm going try again tomorrow re-tape, heat-up to form to the body better, big pain in the ***! Don't look repainted and the instructions look real Mazda OEM, parts all stamped with proper codes. Maybe there Knock-off maybe there not.... God Knows! So far not happy!
I guess you get what you pay for.
Now I have to figure something out with the flares as all the holes are drilled but the dam things keep pulling away at the front leaving a gap!
Suggestions Welcome!

Ah wish I had read this earlier. I just bought some Sunlight Silver rear aero flares for $65. Hopefully the yellow won't come through.

FWIW not a good idea to post in an open forum about insurance fraud because you never know who is reading

I'm debating ordering some front splash guards from this guy. Even if he is kind of scamming people, I think I'd just re-paint them myself anyways. I'd probably just sand off his paint, then primer it and use my WB from automotivetouchup.com to paint them myself. Then I have some clearcoat from them too that I could top it off with.

The color match for my eyelids was seriously 99.9% perfect and I think I have plenty left. The price can't be beat and if the fitment is good, $40 is a good price I think.

I have my rear aero flares sitting in my living room. Shipping was fast and customer service was as prompt as it needed to be. Color match is very impressive for silver. I'll keep you guys posted on the yellow showing.
