From the way the paint is absent from the three attached points only, it looks like the splitter was painted while mounted on the car.

Joska, from what I've seen so far you've had a great attitude in dealing with your car. If I had half of the problems that you've run in to I would have shipped the car back to the seller with a letter from my lawyer.

All sales are final. From what i understand, Joska did not see the car prior to purchase (not sure why he wouldnt).

A letter from any lawyer wont bennefit anyone in this situation. Only waste time.

Back on topic, i really like this vehicle. Shame it has some of these issues. But they all seem like they are small items that can be easily repaired/replaced...not that you should have to in the first place. Joska, can you please post some pictures?

There are issues much more serious than the ones being posted. If you like the car, you don't know enough about it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the piece with the AOS hardline and two vacuum hardlines the same part used on the 951. 951 guys remove theirs all the time. Find one on RL for sale that's not all hacked up on the end and send it to the zinc platers with the other painted parts.

You'll want get the painted items zinc plated. I'm not sure how you go about prepping them, but I'm sure the place that does it can prep them as well.
