The reason I was defensive is because 4 people who know absolutely nothing of the situation started hounding me. I would like a wingless trunk, Kaminari cant supply me with one so thats why I posted here. And turn a profit?? Im not in anything to turn a profit, you dont even know how much I wanted for it. If someone wanted to trade straight up for it thats fine, I just felt that its worth something since it cost me a lot of my time being without my only car for 3 weeks. And you of all people should understand that Scott.
Edit: and I am very grateful to you for posting the hookup on this forum.

I do know that you responded to my post about the offer nearly immediately. I'm guessing by the time anyone else saw it, they would have assumed the deal was all set, as it basically was. You were the only person that Kaminari talked to because you were the first person.
And I'm not scolding you for changing your mind, or because I think Kaminari cares one way or the other. I understand that they probably already got what they wanted out of the deal... the pictures they needed and the molds for a new kit.
But, you have to admit, from the looks of things, you're unhappy about the wing for some reason. By at least trading straight-up for a wingless trunk, you at least don't look like you're profiteering off the deal.
As far as understanding being without my car... I've never been without a car for more than a day. The WRX was in the shop for like a year, but I have the SVX. And when they're both broken, I drive the truck. I wouldn't make a deal to be without my car if I didn't have a backup plan... or if I did, I wouldn't complain about it, because I knew going in that was part of the deal. They had to tell you that the body kit was going to take a while... plus, if I remember correctly, you were supposed to be out of town during that time anyway... no?
Bottom line is: if you weren't sure about making the deal, you should have given others the chance to take Kaminari up on the offer that would have appreciated it more. By at least trading straight up with someone for the wing, you'll be kinda doing that. But really it's up to you... I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I'm just trying to tell you how it's perceived.
