Yeah....i used that guy b/c the guy I bought the bumper from used him for another job and it looked good (Black G bumper). And I told him to just take it there. I drive them back from Tampa and install them in my garage. And then this **** happens. Now...I have to get it back to Tampa and have this guy respray them.
Thanks for the compliments guys. Here is another pic that shows off the Vortech a bit better:

Damn this paint guy blows. I asked him about curing and being baked. He was like, "wax it anytime you want...they are good to go..."

The wheels are Volk SF Challenge in Spark Silver.
Hey old man...relax.
FITMENT WAS NOT BAD AT ALL. I shipped them to the painter so I took the risk of fitment and it looks good. Some areas where it could be betetr but overall..they look sharp right out of the box.
I cannot wait till I get everything straightened out with Vortech and this paint guy.
The hot rod in the back belongs to a buddy of mine. I let him garage her at my place since he has no room (and he bought a precious lexus and doesn't want to park it outside). It's a 1935 Dodge. They used to show it all around the south but I think she is retired and just sitting there. Actually hasn't been driven around in a few months even though he has given me the go ahead to take her out when i want. I dunno man. I wouldnt enjoy driving it as I would be too afraid to damage it.

Okay. Spoke with Erik (paint guy) and, though he defended himself by saying he never had the car to color match, he owned up to everything and agreed to redo the entire job as long as I give him the car this go-round. He will even eat the cost for the paint.
I'm glad I may get this resolved. As many know, I havent really penny pinched my way around this car and I only use shops that have a history with working on a G, hence the reason I have yet to do anything except an oil change by Nissan in Ocala. I hope once I get everything resolved, I'll be able to just enjoy driving her around.

Kinda off topic
how to know if the Greddy side skirts are Authentic???
cause I have one....but the fitment is not direct fit
then I told my vendor....and he said all fiberglass kits are like that...never a Perfect fit.
so I think he ordered a replica and charge me for the authentic price. is that possible?
