I understand being pissed about the paint match and and quality, but fitment isnt anyones fault but his really. He could have test fit and modded the lip kits himself.

Then had them painted. I dont understand why the doors were adjusted and hinges were removed? I didnt read any text.

The Z owner and friends are idiots and deserve this. Iam too lazy to write a new post so I just copied and pasted my response from my local car forum.

Go to any semi-decent shop in Vancouver and they will charge you at least 300 dollars to paint and install 1 OEM front bumper. This shop quoted them $250 to paint and CUSTOM install a WHOLE kit. A decent shop would charge thousands of dollars and a premier bodyshop would charge even more. A hackjob is what you get for $250. These guys display their unbelievable stupidity again when: they didn't do any proper research prior (if they spent even a few minutes to research online they would know a job like this would cost thousands), they didn't ask for estimates from other shops, and on top of it all they paid and signed off without inspecting the car.

If I buy a "LV" shirt for $1 from a booth at the Richmond night-market, without properly checking it out only to find out the next day that its a fake and its of extremely poor quality should I be mad at the vendor or myself?
