Oh its horrible.......I've seen it. The wood screws, painting the kit on the car, uneven spray patterns and botched fan patterns. WOOD!? Drywall screws.....just wow. The filler where it didn't need to be, dents, sawsall cuts....just damn. That poor kid, that poor car. I saw that the other day....and wanted to cry and hurt someone for him. How the hell....would anyone think that's okay?!

Just seeing how the kid typed on AIM you could tell he was special education.

First of all I probably could have done better with my krylon and sawzall :lol: Secondly as a kind of sort of shop owner the fact that he is communicating with a customer on AIM is unacceptiable, I dont even like using my cell for orders

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

Wow. :banghead: I feel so bad for this guy.

I showed the pictures to my hubby who's an auto body guy and at first he laughed thinking that some stupid kid did that to his own car because we see that all the time in this town. When I told him that it was a shop? Yeah, suddenly it wasn't funny anymore, he was mad as heck that a supposed 'professional' would do such shoddy work.

Saw this on my local forums...

I would be -so pissed-

But, the guy shouldn't of signed any paper work until he approved of what was done to his car.

Lesson learned? Don't pay until the work is done :lol:

Something I'll keep in mind next year when i get some paint work done...

Dude's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He expected a 5 star job on paint and install of a 4 piece lip kit? He's an idiot. But he still didn't deserve to have what happened happen.

It cost me $200 to have my front and rear lips installed on the sxt and they were already painted. Was it worth it? Hell yes. Would I pay it again? Hell yes. Would I pay $1000 for what this guy wanted done to his nice little Z-car? Hell yes. Would I take it to a kid for $250, um.... Most assuredly no.

I think what he did to that car is horrible and the guy should be hung from his balls tell they rip out.

Now that being said. The Guy asked for trouble. He should have known better. Anyone that tells him he can do that work for 750 is bad I don't even want to think what 250 get's you.
