you might have gotten ripped off, but it's pretty much totally your fault.
I have found it amusing that I have mentioned it 3 times, yet he hasn't addressed it at all.
This is clearly a case of not shopping around.
That makes 4.

Well, what do you want me to say? Yea, I fucked up and picked the wrong place. It really sucks and I DEFINITELY learned my lesson from this price.
Actually, I just ordered the tires from tirerack and they said this place was one of their preferred installers, so I picked them. I figured since I was having the tires mounted and installed, I might as well have everything under the car done. However, I seem to remember him saying around 600 over the phone, but my memory is a little terrible.

I think Frank just wanted to know if you shopped around, and if you didn't why not.

You got your shit installed right? you're happy with how it drive? The did a good job as a "preferred" installer. you gotta pay to play. sometimes going with a low bid will get you more headaches then it is worth. So keep that in mind. You Paid for Quality Installation. It hurts sometimes, but you like the result

Yeah, he owns a POS R/T w/ little to no mods. He just thinks since he's got Gucci interior and Stage 1 springs that he can talk down about everyone because he disagrees with them. Personal insecurity or just absolute boredom, he tries too hard without putting any part of himself out there to make it equal.
Uriah, you paid what you paid. It's said and done and shit is right now. Rock the car and get the other half of those skirts on

el. oh. el.

Exactly how I and I believe most of this forum sees it. Thanks for putting it so well

Still loving the ride. Everything that looks unfinished in the pictures I plan to have done by Carlisle

Here's to hoping...

At least the quarter panels, roof, and hood in black just because the hood's cf looks like shit. Also looking for a black wingless trunk if anyone has one lol. Then install the skirts and I'm pretty much set. Oh, and I'd like to either engine enamel the wheels semi-gloss black or get them powder coated for 200. But that will probably be after Carl's Island.

To put two front struts on it would take me around an hour.

You should be able to do that yourself with simple tools. It isn't that difficult of a job either.
