Re: Horrible body shop experience-350Z ruined

"Yes, quality won't be priority #1, but as long as the client's expectations are met/exceeded on a continual/reliable basis there's no problem".

my comments were only directed to "quality". re-read my post more carefully.

your statement has alot of "if"'s in it. that's usually the problem with production, they don't meet/exceed on a continual/reliable basis. your statement just agreed with my take on it .

Re: Horrible body shop experience-350Z ruined

Hey at least the body kit isn't gonna come off!

J/K-a body shop is definitely worth getting references on for any bodywork since it so skill level dependent. My guess is $2500-$3000 to put that car back right-and even at that you will always have rust problems.

Re: Horrible body shop experience-350Z ruined

Beyond Horrible!!! Ruined a decent car, I'm not sure of the quality of the aftermarket kit ot begin with, but it's now ALL ruined.

Now I know why the guy who trained me emphasised the importance of sanding and scuffing everything so that the paint would stick, as well as degreasing parts from mold release waxes and applying some sort of ashesion promoter.

Those door jam screws are just hokey!

Re: Horrible body shop experience-350Z ruined

This is very unfortunate, but also just as common. This isn't the first time I've seen wood holding together body panels.
