[GTO JOHN]

I ordered a new reproduction 67 GTO rear bumper from Tamraz Parts Warehouse. This bumper is a new part from Dynacorn. There are blemishes on this part that are part of the manufacturing process. Best to find an original to be replated.

Here is my email to Tamraz after inspecting the bumper:

Alison,

Thank you for taking the time to speak to me on the phone today. This is regarding the brand new reproduction 67 GTO rear bumper I bought on ebay item 260141090616. Your invoice # 175830. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...141090616&rd=1

Attached are photos of the 67 GTO rear bumper I received today via UPS ground tracking # 1ZE610060347108300. The box was in good shape and there was no shipping damage.

The problem I have with this bumper is a manufacturer defect. There are two blemishes in the bumper that appear to be die marks from the stamping of this item. The exterior finish of the bumper was not manufactured in a proper way. The chrome finish is fine and the appearance of the bumper is fine, however these two blemishes are obvious to the naked eye and are in a highly visible location on the left side of the bumper. The blemishes are clearly visible in most of these photos and I placed tape next to them in the final three shots.

This bumper is not suitable for any show car application.

I would like you to review the photos and replace this bumper with another one. I still want a brand new bumper however if the others in your invetory are similar to this one, I would like to request a full refund on this item.

Please respond at your earliest convenience. I fully expect this to be resolved to my satisfaction in the spirit of good customer service on the part of Tamraz's Parts Discount Warehouse, Inc.

Regards,
John Robinson


and Tamraz's Response:

Hi John,
We have checked our inventory and have found that none of the bumpers are suitable for your car. These are not qualified to be show quality. They all seem to have the same blems, so obviously, the dimples are in the mold. We will gladly refund you in full.
Another alternative would be to have your cores rechromed. We have a local rechroming service that does excellent work. They will take your cores and straighten, strip and chrome your bumpers. The cost for each bumper is $395.95.
Please let me know.
Gina

Tamraz so far has been cooperative. The bumper was picked up today so I'm expecting a refund.

And pics of the bumper....
