Default Update: Version Select front bumper (GOD AWFUL FITMENT, pic)

I know there are a couple of people who have VersionSelect kit on their sc. I want to know if I'm the only one having these fitment issue.

1. The holes for fog are too small.
2. The holes for high beams are offset by half an inch.
3. The cuf-off for low beam is offset by quarter of an inch.
4. Ground clearance: Worse than JIC, worse than Bomex.

conclusion: Not worth the labor.

I sent an e-mail to these guys regarding shipping it back and refund, but haven't received a reply yet. This is absolutely disappointing.
Here are so photos.

Went through 3 JIC bumper, currently have bomex, but don't like the design, so decided to give it a change.

wow...that's pretty bad. all the money you would save with a cheaper kit gets eaten up by trying to make it fit.

I am so pissed off that I feel nauseated.
Not a thing goes smoothly with these god-damn bodykits.
Now they are demanding 20% restocking fee ($60), and I am not sure if I can even get shipping fee refunded.

299 + 90 shipping.
Sending it back. 100.

Refund 230

-389 - 100 + 230 = -289.

Jesus christ. GAAAWD!

Wow I can't even belive they're going to restock this piece of crap. That means the next person who wants to buy a Version Select kit will get what you got. These guys are nasty...
