Unhappy horrible bodyshop experience

this is from a member from zilvia.net, but it's messed up to see just how ****ty this guy's work was. he brought in his Z to have a bodykit installed and this is what he ends up with. all pictures are copied from zilvia.net. Here's the guy's profile and website.

More pictures as promised.

Here's the rest of the damage we found today.

Is that rust? Why, yes. Yes it is.







Hinge that was moved.



We dropped the car off, stock. All tabs in place.





Runs...







Oh, nice. Overspray.

Underneath the rear bumper.





Look at the stock bumper, then look at the lip kit.

There's NO clear on the lip kit underneath there.



Mmmm, orange peel.



Stock compared to painted lip.



More screws...



Body line screwed up.(Mike moved the doors...)



Ohhhh, very nice.



The kit on the ends is smooth to the touch. As in, NO PREP WORK WAS DONE.

Wait wait wait...what's this?

I didn't know cars still used wood!

So much for flex additive...





Sparkly reflective tires are awesome!



Rear lip...



Just by looking at the sides and rear, you can easily tell they're not color matched.



Kit coming apart from the bumper.



Clear overspray. Who doesn't love overspray?



This is on the ENTIRE car by the way. Not just a little here and there.

I don't even want to know what the hell happened there...

yeah that paint job is pretty tight, and the drywall screws are just awesome.

But in all seriousness, and without reading the links to all this guys posts, the kit itself could be cr@p which would make things 10 times more difficult. Sure this shop didn't do things the right way, but getting a cheap kit is the start of the problems. Also, the rust looks like it has nothing to do with the new kit, or the shop. It looks like a rub point where the stock side skirt was. Not really sure why that has anything to do with the new kit. All-in-all this guy is outta luck I'm sure. If you cant' trust your body shop, who can you trust......
