Black series kit is here, but some damage
So, the black series kit I ordered a while ago arrived today,
it arrived with some damage, I know I could send the damaged parts back, but if they're repairable, I would rather repair them or have the body shop repair them, this is the one that concerns me most, any advice? Thanks.
Some of the bits.

Fiberglass is easy to repair, if you know what you are doing. Once installed and painted on the car you probably won't be able to tell where it was fixed. However, you paid a good penny for this kit and waited a long time to get it. I would be pissed. I would send some pictures to the company and try and get some money back. Your body guy will probably charge you some extra for the repair. You shouldnt have to pay that, plus something off for your trouble. Good luck with the project. Take some pics as its coming along.

Thanks for the replies and will definitely keep it updated, what sucks is that the car is actually at an indy, soon to be passed on to MB for new ECU, I've been without it for 3 weeks now
