    I'll add, you say Mikevee is AVEC and AVEC is Mikevee - that's true. I'll say that IMO, you can draw an opinion on Mikevee from how AVEC handles it's business, and vice versa, but that doesn't mean they're interchangeable with regards to liability involving dirty used mud flaps.

    Shiny mud flaps don't always mean clean, and anything that shines has some kind of grease/oil based product on it to begin with. Mike offering to send you anything (again IMO) speaks volumes on Mike, and is not a surprise to me given his history here. If you were that pissed, you should have asked for a refund and sent them back, I'm sure he'd have even offered to pay return shipping and all things would be amicable.

    The OP has the right to write a review if he feels like it. Im leaving this post, and if there are any dick head responses after this, action will be taken.

    Thanks for the support.

    Not trying to harm him, just providing feedback for the TW community.

    He claims to be sending $50 in LEDs. Which I do indeed appreciate. And will report back once received. If anything Mikevee-AVEC can make himself look great and potentially make me a long time customer of his.

    Again, please do not try to manipulate things in the thread

    Ill stop being a jerk. OP does have a right to express his opinion which is fine. I do just want to say for the record that some of the comments on this page are priceless! I have a pounding headache right and still managed to laugh out loud all by myself.

    so some used mudflaps were a bit dirty and seller offered to send you free stuff, after an apology and you still put him on blast. and try to tarnish his reputation? its like if i sold you something from a yard sale and then you blast my company saying im a shitty employee. or some one cut you off and you saw their AAA work shirt while theyre in their personal car, will you call AAA and bitch about him? i honestly dont understand your reasoning.
