A) that's why you don't put body kits on cars.

2) I personally like the liberal application of drywall screws on the install.

 

I wonder why the guy at the "body shop" felt that it needed so damn many screws.

I mean, factory side skirts on most vehicles are only held on by a few screws and clips.

 

Saw this on another forum. F- to that body shop.

 

Wow. I cannot imagine what it will cost to get that car back to normal.

 

This makes me remember something about my convertible.

I try to do everything myself, and the one time I needed to use a shop my car comes back with a 2" by 2" area on the rear quarters (both sides) that is scratched up. I was getting a new top put on and it clearly was a belt buckle or something rubbing on the car while the person leaned over. It just bothers me when the one time I need someone else, my fears come true.

 

Terrible. It doesn't even look remotely OK from 15 feet.

 

My first try at body work came out better than that.

I would be livid.

 

Sucks to see such a nice car ruined, but that guy is a DUMBASS for signing off on that work and paying...

Id be at the shop with my spare keys and a few buddies of choice size, commondeering my vehicle and letting him know he could expect to be hearing from my attourney.

 

Wow, is all I can say. And the fact that it now can't be easily converted to stock makes it all that much worse.

 

that is just unacceptable, but he did only pay $750. he makes it seem like that isn't cheap. but i would expect to pay at least double that for a bodykit install, especially in cali.

 

Uh oh, better get Maaco

Dude should have gone to West Coast Customs, im sure they could have pimped his ride,

all jokes aside, thats horrible, those look like woods screws

 

^ It was a hookup through a friend. I have gotten work done at discount in that situation.

 

That is officially horrible. Probably more screws in there than in my last apartment. geeze. poor fella

 

meh, that seems to me like average grade body shop work, I've seen some really really shady shit done to cars by "professionals" at body shops.

But not recently, right?

 

If you want something done right...

 

Agree, that is typical body-shop grade work. "professional" body shops just mean they turn out shitty work faster.

 

Wow, I didn't know BF! had switched from headers to body work...

 

He has, but this isn't his work.

He usually uses JB Weld for bodykits.

 

wow that sucks, seriously though, theres some things you shouldn't cut corners on.

 

that looks similar to the way the body shop installed my airflow kit

 

Maaco turns out better shit than that. Wood screws come on!

 

wow.
my friend has a 350z and he put his $2500 veilside kit by himself. it looks 100x better than this one pictured here.

 

Seriously epic FAIL.

Reminds me of when I had a new bumper put on my Aero... The difference being that the body work cost $4000 and it was a reputable pro body shop, I simply told them that I wasn't happy with the orange peel/drip and they replaced the bumper and repainted it again.

 

My GF's Maaco paint job on her convertible looks 100x better than that shit. That's insane that someone can even let them selves do that shitty of a job.

Unfortunately Auto body is like the shadiest business ever

 

I read through the thread those pictures are from last night.


The dude sprays without a mask, and has screwed up a few other cars in a similar way.

 

anybody provide a cliff notes version of zee thread?
