Mine also came that way, there were deep scratches on the curved corners of the valve cover strips, it looked like someone dragged them on asphalt and then chromed over it, I returned it to the online vendor, then I ordered another set from Rivco direct, the replacement had scratches as well.
They want you to pay big money for this stuff but I have always refused to put up with crap when your spending the kind of money they are asking. If you paying for something nice you shouldn't settle for anything less than that. You want your ride to be as nice as it can be and it doesn't get that way if the manufacturing is shoddy. I'm to old to put up with big money garbage. I want it nice and if it isn't I will hound them until they make it nice.
I am at SpyderFest this week in Springfield MO. Rich the owner of Rivco is here also with their trailer. I talked to them a couple of times today.
I will ask them about the issues with the pegs.
Evidently someone at Rivco was being lazy today, Teresa took care of it.
Teresa is actually flying here tonight, can't do one of these shows without her. We will not be available for phone support the next couple of days.
There are a lot of Spyder's here already. They evidently had 842 pre registered.

Interestingly enough I had the same problem, when I received my Rivco pegs and removed them from the box the leading edge of one of the pegs had some gouges in it. I bought mine from Wingstuff and contacted them and also spoke with Teresa. Teresa asked me to send her some pictures which I did and almost instantly a new peg was on the way and I received it. Great customer service from Teresa and I love the pegs!!
Sorry my fault, I stated I bought my pegs from Wingstuff when I purchased them from Value Accessories. Also great customer service from Value Accessories!!
