Oh no....what the... did I just luck out? Did you get them from a different seller or same one as in OP? So sorry to see that, my fit wasn't perfect but the product itself was decent but those images look terrible.

Did you use vinyl or paint to cover the horizontal chrome strips on the grill?

Zk Speedline Store

Ironically they have pulled the vents as of today.

But he keeps on saying warehouse I am wondering if all these sellers get them from the same place

Still working things out needless to say they are not going on my car, they look terrible.

Did you pay with a credit card? If so you may be able to recoup your loss through them. You received damaged goods so you should be covered through the Fair Credit Billing Act.

That is exactly what I just did

All the center wants to give me is 5 dollars which is unacceptable.

OMG!!! Those are terrible!

Yeah! You should definitely be entitled to a refund...

I'm interested in what color you were planning on painting them....black or were you going to match them with the blue of the bumper?

Originally I was going to leave carbon and get a carbon lip also.

But after seeing pic above I wanted to paint them.

But imo these are so bad I can't even paint them

Well I disputed with my CC so I have stopped payment,

I also won with aliexpress but I have 2 options

1 I can return item to get my money back BUT I am responsible for return shipping charge

OR

2 I can get 107 dollars back and keep the vents.

I am honestly a little confused on what I should do if I keep dispute with CC I will get all my money back and not have to return the vents?

I know shipping these things back is going to cost a arm and leg.

Geez looks I dodge a bullet.

The only things I bought was carbon fiber paddles which look awesome, texture and feel and finish is A+. The other is red carbon fiber start button.

I have found T-Carbon to be really quality product.

I would just deal with your cc if I were you. The other 2 options you are out something which really isn't right. What the seller should have done is expressed shipped you a brand new pair guaranteeing no problems but since they didn't do that, cc is the way to go I'd say.
