Hey Guys! Still working away at my car, but I'm doing light mods for now because I want, no NEED to drop my car

But In the mean time, Something has happened to my favorite mod.

I actually took my Apexi's off over the winter so that they would not be affected by the crazy winters we have over here.

Was too excited and left them on until the first big snowfall:

So I took them off and stored them in my cool, finished, dry and super clean, after I washed and cleaned them up a bit.

When I took them off this spring to put them back on I noticed that they had begun to show signs of some rust as you can see here:

And there were even some wear marks where the edges meet.

I feel like this shouldn't happen to such a product like this that has the Stainless Steel that it does and especially not as something that I take such good care of like this.

For now I applied some Stainless Steel polish and protectant and got a bit of the dots from the road off.

I called Apexi and left a claim on their website (but didnt get a follow up, or confirmation email (Are they still living in their prime of the 90's and not send confirmation emails?)) showing these pics and even a link to this thread.  

But later on I did get a call from a rep named Eric? that said that they were looking into the claim and that they sent the request to Japan. But that was way in the early spring (~March) and now its in the middle of summer and I have yet to hear anything back.

So, while I wait to hear back from them, is there anything that you guys think I would be able to do about this? Or has anyone else with the Apexi's had a rusting issue like this?

Let me know what you guys think
