Basicly don't hire a carpenter to fix your bodykit to a car.

Its been about for a while has that but still shocked at how bad the work done on it was.
Did someone say that guy is getting a new 350? I think so!
I would have ripped into the bodyshop guy for that!
Ok a few extra days I could be fine with but only if the job was done right.
I mean screws like that and wood!!

tbh it looks like the kit was never going to fit, even a shit body shop can chop a kit to match a car, but that looks like the bloke realised he underquoted the work and just did a shit job out of spite! those screws look terrible in the sills.

Thats so awful. Looks the dogs now though..
Not having the time to read through all 100 pages, what happened? Did he get any compensation? The shop close down?

That actually made me laugh out loud!
My sentiments exactly.
i would defo burn his shop down and make it look like an inside job.
and then kick him in the face several times.
wanna get a posse together? saxp going out wild west style!
Sorry, been playing alot of Red Dead Redemption recently! XD

Sued him in court, got $5,500 dollars awarded.
The damage to the car got worse under the kit, the guy had hacked at the sills and pussed them in to get the kit to fit. Completely ruined the car.
Luckily he got an amazing bodyshop to sort it for him, think he's still waiting on the money from Mike though last I read.

Omfg, what a mess, was it a body shop that fitted it or a carpenter? Thats absolutely shockin, to think he even had the balls to hand that back over to the customer and not expect it to come back with complaints lmao, serves him right for cutting corners!
