Default Piece of **** Slp strut tower cracked again

okay some of you chimed in on the last thread where i bought a new stb from slp and the powder coat flaked off when i torqued down the nuts, well finally i received my 2nd stb and the son of a bitch flaked again, what a piece of ****.

i will be back on the phone with slp in the morning requesting all of my money back and telling them i will be ordering a umi in the morning.

dont get me wrong the guys are cool over there but this is 2 products both defective, come on you pay top dollar for **** parts.

my frustration reached an all time high with the after market industry today.

any comments suggestions or criticism?

I'd say you need a chromed or polished piece.

Here's the pic of mine (BMR I think), been on/off 10x+, sitting in the garage for 2 years, I dusted it off just for this special occasion:

His flakes aren't under the nuts like in my pic (which you can't see when bolted up), his flakes off past the nuts so there's a chunk of paint missing after it's bolted up.

1.) Stop being so critical... It's an imperfect world we live in.

2.) Touch up paint is cheap.

3.) Engine bays are for housing HP, not macro photograpghy sessions.

4.) Did someone just say "his flakes aren't under the nuts"?

I think it is God telling you to stop wasting your money on functionless pieces of crap like STB's...
