Default SHR louvers, should I be upset?

Okay, so I was getting ready to put in the louvers today, the first one I pulled out was OK, the second one looks horrible to me, especially compared to the car finish. I didn't buy seconds, I paid full price, am I just being ****, or should I be talking to them about getting another pair?

Just making sure, did buy it from the discount bin by accident on their site?

Definately call them. I'm sure they'll make good.

I think what I'm seeing is that on one of them, the paint has the "orange peel" texture whereas the other looks smooth. You're not being **** if that's the case. But SHR has had good customer support in the past. They'll make it right for you.

Hard to tell from those pics, hold them up beside the hood. Mine were Black, they looked ok, but not great.

If your not happy email or call them, they were excellent to deal with when i got mine.

For the money you paid... yeah I'd be upset. No way I would put those on my car! I would call and have them make it right. Those look like crap!

They do look like they got that orange peel effect. I'm pretty sure SHR will make good and replace them for you.

I just asked the previous question because these looked like they would of been from the, not as good paint job bucket.

Give them a call and either send them those pics, or direct them to this thread. I'd bet they'll make good.

I'll give them a call on Monday. This looks like the issue they warn against in their painting instructions, but they were the ones who painted them. Alkemist, I agree the one for sure looks like a reject, the other one is not as good as I would like. I'll keep you all updated.
