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.

widegts - Page 4 - Zilvia.net Forums

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.

Re: horrible bodyshop experience



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?

Re: horrible bodyshop experience



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...

That car is hot. The car just looks dripping wet right now. Really though all I can honestly say right now is WOW.

Re: horrible bodyshop experience

That is just SAD! It looks like it was done by a couple of redneck kids in the driveway with dad's power drill and some rattle can paint. These are supposed to be professional paint and body guys? Hello lawyer...

Re: horrible bodyshop experience

tell me about it..I dont personally know the guy, but I felt compelled to look out for the automotive community as a whole so I posted it. How can anybody expect to stay in business after screwing somebody over like this?? here's his info.

Re: horrible bodyshop experience

I am no expert but those screws look like wood screws, I think I could have done a better job, and I know nothing about bodywork. I would be getting a lawyer, that car is going to be a junker now.
