horrible bodyshop experience

DieselClown · 10-02-2008, 04:26 AM

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.

DieselClown · 10-02-2008, 04:26 AM

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?

DieselClown · 10-02-2008, 04:27 AM

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...

shift330 · 10-02-2008, 04:38 AM

WTF I'd sue over that to make the guy pay for a new damn car.

ArmyBimmerDude · 10-02-2008, 04:39 AM

You have got to be kidding me. Why did that Z even leave the shop? I woulda shot all of them after seeing all of that. Amazing.

oldaccount · 10-02-2008, 07:39 AM

the screws just add to the race look, balsa wood is very lightweight, and two tone paint jobs look great. i dont see the probem.

I335 · 10-02-2008, 07:54 AM

Lemme guess - a friend of a friend did the work and he got a really great deal on it...

aut0sh0cker · 10-02-2008, 09:02 AM

This is how it went down for the owner of the car:

Perpetrator · 10-02-2008, 09:23 AM

Whoa! Did he not use a reputable shop? I say go tell the owner of the shop "thanks", and buy him some molotov cocktails...in fact, just throw those cocktails into his windows.

No, it was obviously totally reputable. Just ask my bros Skeez Ball and Dirt Bucket from Kreative Kustomz Honda Klub. They get all their work done there.

xg3 · 10-02-2008, 09:58 AM

i coulda done it better.. with less glue.

magmd · 10-02-2008, 10:04 AM

Damn...I guess they were training the new guy or something.

I would not have taken delivery of the car. Make them pay you to get it done correctly elsewhere. new car totally fucked up.

A/J · 10-02-2008, 11:08 AM

NOOOOOOOO!

im spencer · 10-02-2008, 11:19 AM

LOL..... What in the holy hell... reminiscent of the shit I used to do to walls with crayons as a kid

Tondtar · 10-02-2008, 11:50 AM

That's what happens when you pick a shop run by baboons :-)

UltimateBMW · 10-02-2008, 11:59 AM

Damn. Thats like a car's worst nightmare second to crashing.

Horrible.

ACZakka325i · 10-02-2008, 12:12 PM

That is Fcking terrible.

What did he pay for that job?!?!

shragon · 10-02-2008, 12:14 PM
