its the same one Jr. had on his car, so if you liked the way it altered his exhaust sound then you will like this pipe.

No probably will tomorrow night I am adjusting a headlight because there not even fixing my corner light and refitting the bumper it's not exactly flush on one side the body shop I went to sucked and apparently can't do a damn thing right. They scratch one of my headlights bad too. They had my car for over a month and I am having to go back and fix there screw ups. I am not a happy camper

Okay so i took off my front bumper(easy as pie fyi). And adjusted my head lights now i can see at night which is a good thing.
Now for the bad
So most of you know i took got got in a finder bender and took it to a body shop to get it fixed. They had my car for 30 plus days because they suck.
Well my bumper on the side i got hit never was flush when i got it back the bumper never really had damage it was the fender and they had to take the bumper off to fix it.
Well when i took the bumper off i found 2 problems
1 the side marker light holder there are some clips that are broken on it not to big of a deal doesnt really effect how the bumper fits but none the less its broken.
2 (This is why i am livid pissed right now and probably going to kill some one.)
This piece shown in the pic is broken little hard to explain in text with out some of you know exactly what i am talking about.Name:  RACEONUSA-Urethane-Type-173-Body-Kit-Front-Bumper-Mazda-RX8-04-06-4-Door-02.png

But with that broken the side marker holder has nothing to hold up leaving the bumper slid down a little bit making it not flush.
Needless to say the body shop broke it and when i took it back in they glued it in place but still didnt look flush thats why i took it off.
and this is what i found.
So now i am trying to decide what to do. Any suggestions?
Take it back to the shop and bitch.
Take the loss and spend 300-800 on a new more stylish bumper?
I dont know but i want it fixed i am jobless and dont have the cash to really go out get a new bumper fit it and paint it. Soo.... i dont know this saturday blows!!!!!!!

GOSH I FREAKING ANGERY!!!!!!!!

ps sorry that was a lot to type and i am sure you guys probably dont want to read all that. lol

crappy body work!

Take it back to them. That is unacceptable. The only bad thing is you probably signed a paper stating that you accept the car and it is fixed properly or some other legal garbage. Who did it? I know another body shop that is outstanding and does awesome work. let me know if you need any back up i will be glad to go with you since I do this type of work also.

Let me know.
Woogie.
