Hi Guys,

I bought one of these from a reputable vendor on here and prior to installing it I gave it a good looking over. I noticed it has a very small nick in the blade. What should I do? Is it fine or should I ask for an exchange?

Thanks!

That tiny nick in the top right corner on the second picture?

That should be absoltley fine!

You know that it's going to bother you... so why not ask for an exchange? That's what I would do because it would bother me.

if it's not an issue I will easily forget about it - I didn't think it would matter but just wanted to double check.

Did you pay for the slight scratch ON the blade or WITHOUT it? Would you accept your Vette with a slight scratch ON the hood? Wont have any impact on the performance of the car either...Just sayin.

2 seconds with a round file or a box cutter will eliminate that tiny piece of flash. Not even woth a phone call.

I definitely wouldn't care. At all.

Its more of an indentation - like a grinding wheel nicked it during machining or something. I don't care cosmetically or anything, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't have any tangible impact. It's right on the edge so it does have a very minor impact on the outer edge of the throttle blade - its no longer a perfect radius. I'm guessing a tiny bit more air will pass through than commanded but it's so small that it's probably irrelevant.

I am one who gets pissed off at new sht that is not 100% right, it should be! However that very small indentation is not going to have any effect on the air flow and I would not give it a second thought (non-issue).

I my book that indentation would have to go completely across the outer edge to allow a path for more air flow and it's on the bottom backside thats going towards the rear to boot.
