He paid 250.00 for all that? he got what he paid for.

The part that is bullshit is that he wanted the kit put on without drilling any holes so he can go back to stock? What a moron. How does he expect it to stay together? bubblegum? He doesnt belong owning a car at all and the shop who did the work should be ashamed of the poor craftsmanship.

So true. But WOOD SCREWS. Wood screws were used to attach that kit.

What did the moron who owned the Z think?

Its bullshit that the shop did that, but seriously, for 750 or whatever that was, any shop would do that. Its piss poor work for a piss poor job. Was he expecting to pull his car into the SEMA show or something? And he scraped the bumper, yes, he SCRAPED, the bumper. Did he want that to not scratch? Higher your car then dork.

lol i seen this post on 4 different forums now . Definitly both at fault . To start of it was a cheap kit .The authentic kits are held on by oem clips and double sided tape . Those are wood screws .Still thats the worst hack job iv ever seen on a car expecially installed by a shop . Paint is paint .Just cuz the job was only 750 doesnt mean anything .He used real paint . How is a shop gonna spray a car like that . A 5 year old can spray better than that . Also he got what he paid for with the kit work but that doesnt mean every other part of the car should be dammaged . He also took that much time doing it which is crazy .All in all if you have a 350 you should buy quality parts and on the other side that shop should be closed and the owner be put to sleep .
