The first thing that stands out to me is that you didn't install them for almost 6 months, he honestly may think you ran them or something. A lot of people think because something was on their car running fine that the part is in good condition, its happened to me when I know what to look for and inspected it myself. I'm sure you don't think he stamped them Scorpion himself, this is a huge problem with the internet and companies copying other peoples stuff. The best thing you can do is inspect or take someone with you that can inspect something before the money exchanges hands.

Albeit SPTVNM may not have thuroughly inspected the parts I still like to think I can trust buying parts from people on the boards. Personally when it comes to anything internal or is high stress item I'm probably gonna buy new or have the parts inspected first. But it does raise some questions as to whether or not the seller really knows the items he is pushing. If someone on here selling parts as good and even they don't know the condition of them then thats a problem I wanna know about. If anything its a good buyer beware post since I doubt anyone else who read this will be buying used parts from the mentioned seller without properly inspecting them first.

But yeah it would take a hell of a lot of effort to stamp the scorpion logo on some rockers. Looks like the company might be BS'n you on that one. Then again they could have been knock offs to begin with.

Another thing, I've seen parts that were useable but a shop passed on installing them based on the fact it could be somewhat blamed on them if something happened by them installing it. They don't want to have a 30 page thread on the internet blasting them for being a shitty shop just because they installed a questionable part. It only makes sense that they would do that, chances are you could throw these rockers on and run them without an issue.

1.) Inspect the used parts you buy. If you play the "I'm not a mechanic card" then chaulk it up as a valuable experience. Now you know what to look for next time you buy. Also, the previous owner may have bought them and sold them without ever using them or knowing that they were bad.

2.) 1 year is probably too long to start complaining about a used part. If someone bought something from me, and then complained about it a year later, I would probably tell them to shove it. A lot can happen in a year and I have no visibility of where those parts are or what they are used for.

3.) I have not heard of any Scorpion knock-offs. Maybe they exist, or maybe Scorpion is not being honest about their faulty parts. I'd ask them for evidence of your rockers being counterfeit.

4.) Always protect yourself. You have to take responsibility for yourself. Inspect parts thoroughly, meet people in well lit areas, etc. These are used parts. If you don't want to have to do this, or don't have the experience, grab some lemonade and watch the game from the porch (in other words, call Summit and dish out the coin)

WoW this went deep! Ok Willie as I told you these parts were not mine. I was selling these rr for a friend of mine that happen to buy them from a CA ford member. He never used them as well untill he gave up and wanted to sell his parts. I am just the middle man. Why take so long to install them??? I'd give you the benefit of the doubt if you came at me with in 3 months of sale.
As for the stamped logo I was not aware of and I don't know some one could take the time to stamp them to make a quick buck! lol

You sent me only one PM stating "they were bad"and that was it!! You never mention how you wanted to handle the situation. You let it go like you mentioned above. 6 months with having them where ever and now 10 months after hitting me up with this bull shit!, I can't take your word for them.

its been a while so i forgot exactly what u told me about whos they were or who used them or whatnot, regardless i did purchase these from u. reason i barely post now about the situation is because im not made of money so i was slowly gathering parts aswell as money to have them installed by Shaun at AED. Shaun more than anyone knows this is true as i was talkin to him through out the months on what i wanted to do and how i didnt have money at the time.....so finally April comes, that is when my birthday is, and i gather enough money and all the parts and i go to AED and this is when Shaun tells me about the rockers and i send u the pm. Being that i needed my car done since it was sitting at his shop i go ahead and order a new set and worry about the messed up rockers later. finally i give them to my boy a week or so ago and he sends them to scropion and then he gives me the news today. I had let it go, but since my boy told me that scorpion said they were fakes and that they wanted to know where he got them from in order for them to send him a new set, i felt i had to post up.

SO......that is why i took so long. if u have anymore questions for me feel free to ask
