4th, if I see that glue on my car, I would be so **** at them, and take them that get it fix.
5th, after all those, I don't think I want them to install anything for our car.

GL man!!!!!

they only asked for 20 and i bought it painted by the guy! yah it was recommended by the guy i bought it from. i didnt mind paying them more and they never ask for it. yeah GL to me i guess

- blame yourself, because you chose to buy a replica spoiler and cheap-out on a half-assed hack job pretending to be an install.

find yourself a reputable shop to correct your issues, and let this be a lesson learned.

i wouldnt blame myself for paying 20, cuz i already got it painted. and he was just going to use 3 m tape.

That hurts to see. It looks like a little kid did this drunk! What more could you expect for $20 though....

they added silicon to it, it looks better but not prefect. I am going to bring it to bullock to get it fix sometime this or next week. This is going to cost me more than the the spoiler >< lol.

btw this is by velocity

I certainly feel your pain and anguish. It looks like the fitment was off. Did you get the Wald off eBay? Which shop did this? Hopefully, Bullock can undo the disaster.
