I'm definitely going to call them tomorrow. Actually Lucky13 the reason i noticed the two different colors is b/c i took them out to take some pics b/c i was excited, but I got so pissed off and wound up i said F the pics... so no I didnt take any. One head looks the regular aluminum color but has half the A missing in "AFR" embossed logo, and the other one looks like it was painted gray. God this is so typical when it comes to me and modding my car, something always goes wrong. *sigh*

I just wanted to say AFR does stand by their customer service claim, they were very helpful when I called today. After sending the pics of the heads to the manager he agreed with me that they should be exchanged and were unacceptable.

Although I got a bad batch of heads, they are paying for shipping the heads back and are going to replace the heads no questions asked. Even though now i have to wait another few weeks I'd rather be happy with my purchase even if it does take a little more time...

Yeah, they're built to order, plus I got the spring upgrade so it took a little longer. I honestly dont know why i took THAT long but whatever, that was the wait. As far as the condition i was pretty upset, I felt it was pretty inexcusable. Here's the difference in color between the two heads they sent me. Unacceptable IMO.

Eh, I paid a good chunk of change for them, i expected the quality to match the price. The color difference was only one of the few problems with them. No thanks, i want to be proud of these parts!
