Damaged? Parts missing? In the original Caltracs packaging? I don't like Jegs either because of their website being so awful. But I'm not sure I'm seeing this. I have a can of Krylon Gloss Black that will fix that better than new.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Parts most likely drop shipped if any messed up Calvert will handle it with no problems

They not only have beautiful stuff but it runs great too. Jegs will make it right I’m about sure on that and your car will look perfect as always

I hear ya John,such a PITA for a scuff.I'm ok with being a 10 footer  Me too. I have guys come up to me at the track and thank me for NOT treating my car like a "show car." Sure it bothers me if when I climb in the window I put a small scratch on my paint with my belt, but not enough to make me lose weight so its not so dog-gone tight. LOL

I'm as anal as anyone. I'd fix it myself before sending stuff back and forth and it would look better than it did when it left Caltracs' place. Just sayin'.

Part of why I try not to ship heads during the holidays.
Your prized possessions get that little extra bit of love and care from the shippers this time of year.

You know what they say...shipping is like sausage making!!!!
Most people have no idea how hard your items are tossed about when shipped.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Stuff like that is shipped how the manufacturer packs them. Jegs doesn't get part in, unbox and repack it. Like mentioned, bad time of year for stuff to be handled with care. I'm just happy when stuff actually shows up, usually late til after the holiday mess it over.

In order to keep costs down both Jegs and Summit drop ship as often as possible. Less shipping costs for them and less stock inventory

Not Jeg's fault. Jeg's is no better or worse than Summit, on anything. I agree that Summit's website is easier to use though.
I'd call Jeg's, or even Calvert Racing...I bet one of em will make it right.
