What in zee hell did they do to your sideskirts! That is scary to look at. The car would have looked different and nice if things fit a bit better and no screws -_- scary.

Those screws have just ruined your car once they were drilled in there. Don't think I could live looking at those screws and indentations every time I open the door.

That's probably the 2nd worse sideskirt install I've seen after that 350z one. (same exact thing except the Z had way more uneven mounts)

I thought this was a good shop?

That's a terrible job, guess no one from DRIVER will be taking their rides to Auto Explosion any time soon. You started off passing on the fact that the paint didn't match and then it got much worse. Have them do the job right, if they're capable....at this point I seriously doubt it!

hmmm.... That's very weird.... i would seriously go and talk to them about it... My whole car was repainted and we did some customization to my sedan, and I have never seen anything of this caliber. Seriously talk to Esteban and he will correct this for you.

How much did something like that cost? Looks like an expensive job that turned out to be less than expected. The car looks alright to me, but we are our own worse critics. I know every flaw on my car and I'm sure its the same way for everyone. But don't let it keep bothering, just take it back for another look.

^lol it was a 3k+ job. Yeah I really didnt expect this. I get the feeling even if they are going to fix it, i will have to buy another set of sideskirts at least. There were like 3 other G's there at the time that I dropped off my car. I think a lot of the forum goes there and I hear nothing but good things so im not sure what happened.

Yeah I made a mistake, I was in a big big hurry though. had a lot of very important deadlines i needed to meet. so yeah that was a bad call on my part. I dont think i would lawyer up over like 3k when the fees would be like 10 times more lol. I would just hope they would correct the issue and fill in they holes the drilled in lol. God i hope that doesnt start rusting.. Im just surprised they would do something like this.
