horrible bodyshop experience
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.

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?

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...

Holy Smokes!!!! I can hardly believe this.....and the guy used what looks like drywall screws to install the kit!!! WTF man I would be so p issed over that, needs to take legal action over that. IMO If it had not been said it was done at a body shop I would have though maybe in someone's back yard. Well it can be said that the car has been turned into a 50 yard car....as in it looks great from 50 yards away.
