i'm glad people in my area are smart enough that they know not to pull some shit like that...

I guess that SoCal for ya.

BTW, I hope you guys read the back story to the pics. Its ridiculous!

I am going to have nightmares tonight.

I could easily make that car as good as new, nothing that horrible was done to it but I would charge to have interior trim panels removed to restore corrosion protection.

There will be a good deal of welding involved in fixing the screw holes. Easy welds, but the backsides will have burns that will expose bare metal.

Mike needs to man up and close up shop and work at WalMart until he can pay these people back.

That body shop proabably had to make several trips to the hardware store for more screws thats why it was't finished on schedule. I would be so pissed if that was my car. It never would have left the shop looking like that.

Don't foget the wood shims.

Oh man that sucks...

And i get my car back today from the shop, after a wreck

that's why it's smart to contact local boards/enthusiasts to find who does the best work in the area. It's your car's finish-it's worth paying for!

**NorthwoodDavid** · 10-06-2008, 06:43 AM

I just look at 27 pages of that...

and no owners to the legs

**SleeperC5** · 10-06-2008, 06:52 AM

**MaxPlusTen** · 10-06-2008, 09:56 AM

Where the hell do you find these threads Kyle?

Great Thread!

**LT1 > LS1** · 10-06-2008, 12:52 PM

dude, those runs in the paint were soooooo bad.....

how can you seriously give a product like that back to someone, and expect them not to be super pissed off?

as one of the older members of this site would say...people are just not proud of their work anymore.

Considering I work in the auto body business I can say he got exactly what he paid for. A stock front bumper repair and paint is at least $500 at a reputable shop.

IF he was smart and shopped around and had ANY common sense $250 for that much work is really cheap and it should have set off warnings.

i said the very same thing. paint and prep work alone is more than that!

Or not expect good bodywork for 750 bucks.

I think some of the bumpers i've put on (already painted) were around 500 just for the bumper alone. Dont get me wrong, these people did thousands of dollars in damage to the car and charged 750 bucks. But the moron owner of the car was trying to get somethin for basically nothin. I thought a lil about this and I think both parties were wrong. The shop owner shouldnt be in business and the owner of the car shouldnt expect good work for so freakin cheap.
