    That's terrible. I would have beaten the shop owner to death with that POS work he did. With the wood screws still in.

    I see work like that come into the bodyshop I work for all the time, and we have to fix it. I dont see how shops can do work like that and keep there doors open.

    It’s just the good ol’ boy in me
    I got my friends I got the recipe
    For one hell of a life

    I got my girl got my family
    Got my booze and that’s all I need
    For a hell of a time

    HELLYEAH!

    It's not hard when you do it that way... But it is hard to get repeat business.

    Wow, when I went to college for this, my teacher would have killed me if I would have ever even mentioned doing that to a car... Wouldn't have mattered if it was a pinto or a geo metro... There's no good excuse for that.

    Apparently that guy also ruined two of YokataS13's cars after he flew him from California to Japan to paint them (from what I have read).

    Some other stuff is posted throughout the thread, pics of the car on page 22.

    He got what he payed for.

    If he can afford to drive a 350z and mods then why could he not have taken it to a reputable shop? Who cares if it was going to be maybe a grand more or maybe even more then a grand. At least, you know when you get the car back that there will be no issues like this.

    What's sad is that they used f*cking wood screws. Lolz....

    It's sad how they can call themselves a shop when they do work like that.
