Rich, I suspect you've spent very little time in O/T.

I didn't think Fiero Vice was all that nasty to anyone disagreeing with him in this thread. However, having said that, I checked over my ratings to see if I had ever rated Fiero Vice... and it turns out he had rubbed me the wrong way several years ago. Interestingly enough, I was the very first person to welcome him here when he joined PFF... but he wore out his welcome with me when he had way too much to say in certain threads. It seems that this fella unfortunately has this problem quite often with many people all over.

I don't know why people behave the way they do on the internet boards. It's been around since the early usenet days- "Flame wars". Face to face would it be so brazen? Hard to believe it would. Anyway, never an issue with TFS or Rodney.

So you bought over $3k of stuff from them and this is the first "issue" you have had, pretty good odds.

I will also say what everyone else is saying, that rust is no big deal. That looks like surface rust - ANY - part that is freshly sand blasted will start to rust right away unless coated. This is common knowledge, not sure why you are so bent out of shape over that. the parts look really good. If they had coated the parts so they didn't rust, would you complain about that and how you now have to strip the parts?

For the record, I am not a Fiero Store fan boy as I hardly buy anything from them, BUT I would not hesitate buying anything from them as their stuff was always top notch and they have always been helpful.

Interesting.
