Blueovalindustries-Caveat Emptor!

swami · December 31st, 2011, 08:40 AM

i wanted subframe connectors for my '94 'vert and at $104.95 the price was right. i googled for info on these and the only comments i could find were that they were steeda clones(they aren't steedas measure 1.25x2 and these are 1x2"), "accceptable" and one guys were covered with rust. mine came with no endcaps welded on them! i have had maximummotosports and a no-name brand for my SHO and they always came with the endcaps welded on them. i emailed the guy at blueoval and he offered a full refund if returned them but they weigh 22lbs and i had already spent an hour and a half welding the end caps on and a coat of primer. i asked for a partial refund but he ignored me. i filed a paypal claim for $40 but paypal opted to give me a full refund if i return them. he even lied to paypal that he had already offered to pay return shipping. these thing are made by SMT in CT so i'm sure he could have recouped his loss from them. initially i would have been happy with ten or

twenty dollars for time and material but instead blueovalindustries opted to create badwill so i'm spreading the word. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!

sorry to hear that happened.

Why didnt you contact blue ovil before you modified them ? i think you would have saved your self a headache if you had.

They sound similar to the Laural Mountain Mustang sub frames. I've used the LMM before and I liked them. But mine were nice & clean in a box with all the parts. And they used to be $89.99, they just went up to $104.99.

this...

do they have pics of them with end caps welded on? if not, then you can't blame anyone but yourself lol. i'll agree it should have end caps welded on but you can't expect them to give you some sort of refund if you've modified them.

fwiw, i'm pretty sure i've heard a lot of bad on blue oval industries.

swami · December 31st, 2011, 05:02 PM

pics in the instructions have endcaps welded on; let me see no endcaps, no structural rigidity, good place for dirt to enter and start rust. i can tell you an engineer of some sort? oh a posting enginneer,LOL?

You read a review on them saying they were Steeda clones,... I can only assume this wasnt from BLue Oval.
