Ok I know what we're seeing in the pics posted.It's true that it is the unwelded seam that we're seeing.The jagged ,torn look is buffing compound in that seam that has not been cleaned out. There was even pockets of compound in the large cutouts.  Use some elbow grease ,clean it out and you'll barely see the seam and it will not appear as if a crack then.  My fronts are much better looking than the rears and from my polishing experience I know how hard that shit is to get out of those small crevices. THe rears being so deep the polisher must take less time on them than the narrower fronts figuring it will not be as noticable.  IMO that is a sign of less attention to detail now than in the past.  My   previous ones did not show like that..

While at it, stick a feeler gauge in there, it sure looks like a fat gap...

Pic is decieving.Not intentionally or anything and to look at it before the compound is removed it does look like maybe .030".It's just at the edge that you see. Otherwise it is making 360* contact. The internal 360* weld is what holds the 3 pieces together and not the fit there anyway.IMO there's no problem at all .Just crappy cosmetically.

They should have taken better care in cleanup I admit. Once cleaned up they art fine.
  300 my ass! LOL!!!  I paid approx 390 for mine.I'm willing to let them go for 300.
