    Okay, my driveshaft doesn't like tq.
    Where's a reputable place to get a new driveshaft? I've seen it posted a couple of times here before praising them!

        What branch are you looking at joining and what career field are you trying to get into?

        I was looking at joining the Air Force like a year ago to go into IT or Intelligence. Pretty much the main thing you should study up on is the math portion. That was the area I needed to improve. But there are guides out there to help you study. I take it you're going enlisted too? I'm probably doing ROTC when I go back to school, otherwise GG bank account.

                Hey guys. Recently bought a set of euro smileys and grills from a well known vendor on here. I ordered the lights, being told that there was nothing wrong with the adjusters.

                Lights arrive. The internals are extremely dirty. Surfaces corroded. Bezels destroyed.

                Now, I am faced with a big dilemma. My goal was to have my car safer for the 600 drive home for christmas. Now, I need to shell out $90 on new adjuster screws, and another $20 on adjuster bushings. Already paid $20 for bezels half off at the junkyard.

                I have messaged the vendor with detailed photos, no response yet.

                When this is all done, I will have spent the same amount as for paying for new smileys outright.
                Very frustrating given the fact that I'm a student with a tight budget.

                What do you guys suggest I do?

                  Put them on blast and have them fix the problem. If they stand behind their products then they should do the honorable thing and help fix the situation.

                    Have you posted his contact information on 4chan yet? That should get him!


                    But seriously, don't do that.

                      Putting them on blast shouldn't be your first course of action.

                      Even if the product wasn't as described, Shoot him/her a PM and give him the benefit of doubt and chance to correct things, in the end it only looks better on you if you do.

                      Give the person a reasonable amount of time to reply, everyone has a life, and vendors/business owners are usually busy with a handful of things.

                      After you get the response you'll know what to do from there.

                      Keep in mind that if you bought pieces for a 20+ yo car sight unseen (without photos) condition descriptions vary from person to person, my "mint" isn't necessarily the same as yours, vice-versa. However you bought from photos/descriptions, you should have gotten what you paid for.

                      Best of luck resolving this!

                        Sina, my brother was in your very same situation about a month ago buying smileys from a guy on here that sells a bunch of them. The seller never responded to my brother that I know of, so that sucks. I think he just bit the bullet and fixed his set up. Hopefully its not the same seller.

                            Let's stop sugar coating sellers, I know I've taken on shit storms from buyers before but, Omar & I know first hand, that even if you lose out as the seller., you gotta do what's right.

                            You're only as good as your last transaction and, the only thing you have to uphold your credibility, is to make good with the buyers.

                            Put his name out, I'm sure if it had taken long for a Mod to get his stuff right, flags would've been risen already.

                                lol that was like the 3rd time I got pulled over in my e30 although without the modified lights.

                                Speaking of which... I guess one of my brake lights was out so I got pulled over tonight. Cop was chill and just told me to fix my lights asap.
