Wow!

Even though it's a "Z", I just can't look at any more.

How could someone let this happen to their own car???!!!!!!!! I'm in total shock!.......$250 to paint and install the whole body kit should say something...should ring the lil bell in his head even before he went ahead and got it done...

I don't know I should say the owner deserves it or..blame the body shop..lol...crazy! I feel sorry for the poor car....it looks as it's totalled...lol

It'd be easy to harp on him for paying $250 for a professional quality job, but if the guy committed to quality for $250 he should've held up his end of the bargain.

God that's sad to see.. especially re-adjusting the damn door and some of the crazy *** screws drilled right into the body.

i dont let anyone work on my car, if i want a body kit i would order one and get it painted at a shop and put it on myself, and yes i would make sure its painted right before i pay, but its true that you pay for what you get for
