He sold me a steel hood telling me it was aluminum, claiming that he didn't know it was steel and he was told it was aluminum. Due to school/travel constraints, at the time I was not able to weigh the hood nor did I have the opportunity to compare it to my steel hood for weight purposes. I offered to sell the hood and have me refund the difference, and he's refusing to refund any of my money.

Next time I go to get a hood, I'll bring a scale. If you're going to buy from this guy, be damn sure you know what you're getting.

 

i already apologized and stated that i was sorry. ask anybody else, ask goodfellfd3s, i've done business w/ many and have had no probs

 

If you guys cant tell the difference between a alm or steel hood, then wtf are you guys doing owning rx7's...............LOL

 

dude i hadnt seen the hood in 2 yrs after i swapped it for a t2 hood. i told him i was pretty sure its alum cuz it felt light the way i recall. when he got here he was like, this is so light

 

use a magnet, it wont stick to aluminum , cheers

 

rofl!

 

DUDE YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!
I am sorry and not to be mean but dude it's a huge difference.

 

ehhh, maybe big dif if they are side by side. everyone always says if u can lift it w/ one hand its alum. so either im super strong or thats not true

 

1st of all, that's blatant false advertising. You really should give they guy his money back, because you sold him an alumunum hood, not a steel one. I'm sure if he knew it was steel he wouldn't have bought it because he's already got a steel one!


One way to tell if it's aluminum is too look at the latch where it closes.
Rivets = Aluminum
No rivets = Steel

if i could give me his $ back i would, but the problem is i dont have any to give. i'm full time student paying for cologe on part time hours, getting married in june and looking for an apartment. i am 100% broke. i would have also dealt w/ him better if he didnt come off like a jerk trying to contact me

 

You seem like a jerk selling him a steel hood claiming that it was aluminum, and then not refunding his money. Im sorry about your financial situation but you fucked him over. I would seem like a jerk to you too if you ripped me off.

Hey, want to buy an aluminum lower control arm? Its a little rusty but still worth the money!

 

The difference is 52 vs 26lb as I recall.

 

LMAO!

 

somthing is wrong with you guys if you cant tell the diffrence im pretty sure anybody else would've noticed right away

 

well then i'm a dummy, we've already established that

 

come on man.. ya your broke.. but if nobody buys parts from you anymore because you **** people over then YOU WILL HAVE LESS MONEY!!!

 

**** ppl over? it was an honest mistake that i apologized for. i only assume he's telling the truth since i have no way of telling weather he is lieing or not. he mentions it half a year later and doesnt even wait for an explanation before making demands and telling me what i am going to do. i've done business with many other ppl that most of you know. but if you wanna base my business skills off of one mistake among dozens of good experiences than you've already judged me anyways and nothing i can say is going to change that. i sold a tranny to goodfellafd3s, he came down, i helped him load it, the tranny was sold as is but i still refunded some of his money because of a problem he had with it. the difference is he let me know the next day, while i still had the money not half a year later. i am selling my rear seats to rotary ressurection. ask him if he gets his stuff or if im just gonna rip him off.
