The red broken part is the waist armor(it's extra), and both have no loose joints. It gives two sets of outer armor that you don't need. Besides, I don't know if the LEDs are still working because I don't have the battery to test them. The outer armor has a flat top coat. You can paint it over or use another set of armor. Overall, they are junk, don't expect too much from them. Junk, it might have damages/scratches/dirt/stains. What you see is what you will receive. Please think twice before you make a purchase, and please, no returns. The price stays the same until I end the listing. Shipping method: FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery, UPS Ground,USPS Parcel Select. Let me know if you need anything.
