Well I finally got my car back after 7 weeks at the body shop. I love the paint job on the car. It looks really good, but thier assembly on the front end and getting it right was poor.
When I first saw the car the rear spoiler was at the most awful angle because they filled in some holes, but forgot to drill out the set holes and decided to just leave it that way. so I told them to fix that. also I told them to get the gaps on the hood closer and the did a little bit but they still aren't right. I didn't notice that the front end was down or I wouldn't have taken the car, but you figure that they did things right!.. wrong
The front header unit was way down causing a gap yea a gap between the headlights and the front fenders. so looking on at the headlights there was a slight gap at the top where the rubber flange is... Now maybe the header unit dropped because the header unit thats on the car isn't exactly the same as the original. The front foam bumper support is just laying in between the bumper and metal support not attached or anything. so I have a wedge underneath the header on top of the front metal bumper support to hold it up. I also had to move the two pins where the front bumper attaches to the header unit by the hood, back.. the bolts on the hood were loose by the windshield. the gaps between the hood and fenders were uneven and not straight. The horn is a different horn or something it sounds like a tricicle horn. they didn't paint the front edge of my side scoops. Long story short they did a rush job because after 5 weeks I went up there to expect my car the be ready for paint, and only a few hours of work had been done. So I told them to finish my car.
One of my friends referred me to this shop. I am pretty frustrated about this and spend the last two nights working on the car.
I go tomorrow to get the car inspected. Here are some pics.
