oh wow im speechless, i can do better job myself..

[Soyabean]

WTF. Holy crap, that was a bad job. I'd be so pissed i'd burn down his shop if that was my car. Luckily all of our sponsors have a reputable name and if anything was to be done, i'd take it to them.

But holy, did u see how he screwed the side skirts onto the chasis? ITS SO UGLY AND DENTED AND UNALIGNED.

[condor888000]

Why the hell did the idiot accept the car back in that shape? Christ...

[Nick]

wow, nice car poor job. that would totally make me go nuts!

oops, i meant nice kit*

[sas]

Perfect work!
I think they are smoking something heavier then I …

[CopperRouGe]

Brutal!!! That WAS a nice car.

[yearoftherat]

OMFG !!!!
I'm f**kin speechless..

[cwp_sedan]

I would cry. I almost did just looking at those pics!

[cereal83]

My god is that bad. I wouldn't know what to do except take legal action. See all the screws on the side lips. omg

[Malcolm991]

Wow remind me never get work done by this guy, how does anyone give someone back there car after a job like that?

[m_a_t_r_i_x]

car was butchered!, wow...car will never be the same again with all that screw holes with that body kit....they even put a piece of wood for fcksakes!!

That job looks like it was done by a carpenter!

[dentinger]

wow.
i would have asked for my car back after the second or third setback.

that is totally unacceptable. if it was my car, i would have been past the point of pissed.

and im too lazy to read all of that. i've been on forums all night.
what ended up happening??

[iconicrocket]

Wow, someone needs to be sued for this.

[Thrizzl3]

that 350 looks like it went through a knock-off make over:flaming

[eqlso]

Well at least you know those side skirts aren't coming off any time soon lol

[SonicBoy]

Ya dry wall screws make the difference everytime when attaching side skirts.

[whiteomega]

The screws will just start rusting after the first wash, and a year later, they'll be done. (Not that he'll be keeping that kit on the car the way it is for a year)

Pretty obvious "mike" didn't know what he was doing, and didn't bother to read (or ask for) the installation instructions for that kit.

I'd have been suspicious though when the initial quote was $250. Hell, I'd have been suspicious if the initial quote was less than a thousand, and I'd have gone elsewhere.

[MSMitch]

Just close your eyes, and you won't notice it at all - hey, that's what the shop obviously did when they installed it! :)

[mEtH]

wood, just classic right there. At least it has more rigidity then cardboard...

[Garu]

I feel really really bad for the dude.
Can you imagine this happening to you car?

[stevenlung]

That guy is :loco

[WLS ZMZM]

wow i'd be driving that car right through the front window of the shop!!!
Followed by a good swift bat to the head!!!

[Unoriginalusername]

I feel really really bad for the dude.
Can you imagine this happening to you car?

i'd be sick

[06Touring3]

wood shims? on a car? that is mind blowingly bad work

[nicker]

id be crying then whooping some serious ass!

Brings tears to my eyes. Who thinks its ok to use wood screws and ****** wood to install a kit? Man I have laid crapper logs that look better then that work!

[Go_Habs_Go]

WOW...that must be heart-breaking to see your car get destroyed like that.

I would find the shop owner's car and give it the same make-over! :flaming

[Mazda3X2]

I really like the Z cars. But sad to say I don't think I would even want that car any longer if it were mine. Honestly I don't think it would ever be the same.

[Ex-Rolla]

Reminds me of what happened to my fender after i got it rolled (albeit not that extreme)... still isn't fixed :(

Man i feel sorry for this guy!
