I bought a Carlini Low Down from their blem pile for my Deuce last year, and where the blem was I could not tell. They were beautiful.

I do realize its my money, but i was just wonder how "bad" the blem spot might be. I dont want it so bad it sticks out. However if its just a small blem then no big deal.

Their blems are usually not bad at all. Call and talk to Rex. He will set you up with some nice bars...
