That guy denies EVERYTHING--I almost socked him myself when I dealt with him-- Again, he's a son of a B (sorry to use harsh letters).

I'm a non violent person, but uh if I saw that I would have definitely socked him. I saw on page 4 or so there was wood used for the screws? WTF. you guys see the picture with that guy painting without a mask on? Oh man maybe he does have a few screws loose. Yeah that Paulie guy on that nissan forum is a jerk.

i saw this on supraforums last night..... i feel really bad for the owner. Probably the worst work I've ever seen. Granted what do you expect for $250, but this is taking it to a whole other level in terms of bad work.

wow. his work = ftl.

and look what he says on page 3 of that thread in club4ag:

5 - after the about 10-20cars having QUALITY done, those 10-20 owners will be happy, they bring more, I continue to do Quality, and hopefully have a chance to redeem myself in this community. IF NOT, well I'll continue to hold the 240 community, lexus, benz, local area aunts and uncles, local area bodyshops who dont like custom work, referals from aitracing, vis racing, and other shops who sell kits that give me work because they hate installing kits and painting them.
be scurred. be very, very scurred.

consider this a warning.

I'm not surprised, with all of you guys who are for authenticity and getting what you pay for, the guy paid $250 to install and paint a body kit, he is a moron for thinking he will get quality work done and he deserves what he got.
That’s what’s wrong with most people in this world, they want to pay half price and get 10x the value, granted I have replica wheels and always look for a bargain but I don’t go around and whine when the item I buy at half price is flawed or looks different than the original. I still get complements on my car because everything is done with out cutting corners, yet I don’t have any high priced items.
The kid wants to mod his car, then pay someone the right amount of money to do it right, don’t go to someone who gives you a dirt cheap price and then bit** and moan about not getting good work done.

What amazes me is.....

They jacked up the car door (denting it too) so the sideskirts fit....an now the doors are off alignment with the frame. WTF?!?!?

this guy's english is worse than me when i was in kindergarden (unless he's trying to be funny)

in any case, whoever that is, he/she managed to come up with so many great ideas (random holes, wood screws, wood pieces, moving up doors, etc...) i can really say they got no competition...
