Default new clutch does not look good

I ordered a new clutch and it came to my house today. I took it out of the box and did not feel real good about what I saw. The fly wheel looked like it had been in another car and the clutch plate was defective. I have sent an email to the company that sold it to me to get their opinion on my problem but they do not work on the weekend so I will have to wait till monday to see what they say. take a look and tell me what you think.

That is shipping damage. The flywheel is usable, but that disk is fubar.

What kind of clutch is that? I don't recognize it.

The flywheel has not been used from what I can see. Just a little bit of rust. The flywheel looks like it is just a little digned up. I would send it back.

It is from a non sponsor so I do not want to say until I hear back from them. I was just expcting the flywheel to look a little cleaner. If that is how they look after being on a balancing machine then I am fine. The clutch plate is what got to me the most.

The cluth plate looks like a stock Z06 plate. It is ruined...you want it perfect so it won't directly affect your balance. The flywheel looks a little scratched up but should be usable - after some TLC. Either way I would send both back. I would be embarassed sending a product out like that in such condition. If it's an issue of shipping damage, they need to find a better container/box to ship them in.
