I can't believe such horrible thing actually happened.

Chainsaw Massacre of autobody. That is some scary $#!T. Even suing takes time and a long process. How messed up of work.

the dude with the 350 must have been a retart to take his car there..i mean...this looks like the guy went to his local drywall wholesaler, picked out the person that looked least bodywork friendly and told him, "Hey, put this kit on for me" i mean...i would have at least watched him do some of it at the shop to see the progress/how he was doin it....honestly its really not that hard to put a body kit on even if you have no experience....i even feel better painting the car myself so i know i havent missed anything rather then take it to a local shop...i dunno but personally i would just beat the sh!t out of this dude for even thinking that this would fly...what a damn jackass

My guess is that its a copy of a copy kit. The kit looks like it wouldn't fit. Body shops are good for pulling out dents and painting. Putting on a kit involves precision. You have to warp fiberglass with a heat gun, remove glass with a dremel, add glass if needed. Its not an easy job. Those sideskirts are great.
I got to wallpaper that job.

now all he needs is an interfooler

man...i thought ive seen some bad paintjobs before...but thats by far the worst job ive ever seen. Like i actually started to feel physicaly sick looking at thouse pics. I remember how frusterated i was when i got my celica back from the bodyshop and i had overspray and orange peel and some little bumps on the paint where th gun got clogged. I remember how pissed i was when i went back and complained, but i would hate to be that guy.

Very very sad poor car!!! some people just done care about others, what happened to being a decent person and taking pride in your work?

Wow thank god I didnt have that guy putting my kit together

That seriously makes me nauseous. I couldn't even imagine the extent of my rage if I took my car to a shop and got that in return. Then again, I wouldn't have signed for the work until AFTER I inspected the car in the day time. I understand he was eager to get his car back after so long, but man that's just horrible. I just truly cannot imagine what I would do. I would seriously have a hard time controlling my anger with that guy. I know it's just a car, but it's about the principal. After 12 or whatever days and $700+ dollars, not to mention more $$ and downtime to rectify the damage, I would seriously flip my sh*t and want to start lighting things on fire.

well u get what you pay for...un sure what he paid..maybe some one jump in with a number....i assume he paid little for the ****tie kit and the work to be done...good body work takes a long frigin time i have a quote for my celi for 3500 dollars... to repaint the whole car.fix a lil rust and fix up my front end that some shabby shop painted it before i owned it..also shavin wiper antena and gas door/blinkers....but 3500 dollars aint cheap by no means..my car will see top of the line paint and clear...along with a good wet sand and couple coats of clear...can't wait.........but i could go give 500 bucks to the on eyed coke head/drunk down town a screw driver and some sheet rock screws and get the same effect...maybe better lol.......two ppl need to be slaped here...the shop owner and the car owner..i dont care how dark it is when u pick it up..u see a million screws in ur door jam u dont let that slip

that shet got to hurt. but i wouldn't blame the owner who know that shop going to be like that, but i would be useing crazy on someone when i get my car back like that. i was thinking of takeing my car to the body shop to get my c-one bumper on but after reading that post in not so sure i would like to take it in. i would take my chance of me doing it lol. 750+ for that junk work. i guess that guy have to be super drunk to work like that. atleast make the screw striaght up lol. over spray please my little 3 year old can spray my car better then that. i guess i be installing my body kit after seeing this lol.

I just got my cone bumper painted and returned to me yesterday. After reading this earlier, i inspected the whoooooole cumper for flaws hah

Holy crap! My Celica's body kit was done just like this too! Wood used to attach bumpers, trimmed side skirtsh held on by screws AND nails, spoiler attached with silicone, etc.

The problem was that I had it done in MA and was in the process of moving back to CA. So I literally picked my car up from the body shop on Friday, and drove back to CA on Sunday morning, two days later.

I can laugh about it now, but yeah...paid about $800 (don't remember exact amount) to paint and install the kit.
