Re: HORRENDUS BODYSHOP.....EEK!

TBH, what a tool for expecting to pay $250 for fitting, prep and paint. If it sounds too good to be true...

Yeah what I meant was it's not like any of us are going to use them are we ?

If it was in the UK then fair play, tbh it's just some dumb american who didn't do his research properly.

Bit harsh? Sure maybe he made a mistake trusting the guy but that doesnt mean he's an idiot? Imagine if a bodyshop you went to did that to your vee and we just called you an idiot for making a one off error?

Cut the guy some slack, he's gotta be devastated! $5000 dollars to put right apparently

Quote from site

"He then made a new invoice which was now at $730.69. A $480 price hike from the original quote."

ii quinn (1:31:29 PM): I had to use 4040, which is a super strong epoxy, to ensure fitment, quality, without having to mold the sides to the car.
ii quinn (1:32:35 PM): computer died
ii quinn (1:32:41 PM): stupid laptop
rubicant1979 (1:32:45 PM): Oh, so you did that after you test fitted them with the screws?
rubicant1979 (1:32:46 PM): Oh, I see.
ii quinn (1:32:49 PM): yup

He knew that the place had a bad rep as well as a good one though, but he still went there, why on earth would anyone do that ?:S

It is not a one off error as they have done shoddy workmanship before, tbh the bodyshop have f'cked it big time.

If it was me & i'd not have gone to them at all. If I hear a bad word about places i'll not use them - simple as. I'll only use folk who come recommended & can show me their work. If I can't put my trust in them, stuff them they aren't having my business.

There's bad rep and then there's that. That does not even look like its been done by a body shop. Wood/sheet metal strews to hold on side skirts..

to me i think hes rushed the job to concentrate on other things... ive looked on his photobucket album and the work seems average really nor brilliant or extremely bad apart from that Z!!! it says somewhere that he also fabricated some body parts when modding his car and it did look pretty good... but what i cant beleive is how can he actually perform such atrociousity to a car like that and even think that its reasonable work!! him out of anyone should know what a c**k of a job it is.. poor car...

yeah it wasnt chav really the car was near enough standard with the usual american modding taste of bling wheels... the didnt look bad or OTT...

a) thats a nice kit if fitted properly to a 350z. But suppose nything new to a car is classed chavvy on here.

b) his first quote is what he wanted to pay. $250. IMO, he should have questioned that figure and though, could it really be done for that much?

Laughable quality of work done and also the owners own fault for trusting him..

i don't expect to be getting a kit fitted and spraying completed for less than a 4 figure sum... i have no idea of the real cost but the age old saying of it sounding too cheap definitely applies... surely you'd also look the car properly over before paying as well?

the paint runs, woodscrews.... it's all painful to look at :(

JESUS!!!!!!!!! you could take maybe a laquer run or a little orange peel and some filler sink/feathering as it's a cheap job. I dont understand how anyone could do it THAT badly though.

i could do a better job with a £20 b n q voucher and some rattle cans in the pouring rain on top on some cliffs.

Thats really bad work. If you cant handle the job do not take it on shame on that body shop!

But its a warning to everyone only use respectable bodyshops with respectable workshops and reputation :(

Maybe it was a s**t kit to begin with though? some ebay rubbish?
