Got my car back, and now i know God Hates ME!!!!

Well i got my car back from the shop, 3 weeks later. I was expecting a nice ass paint job and just all around good looking car. Instead i get dents, fish eyes, over buffing, and worst of all a terrible fitting front bumper. THIS GUY SUCKED ASS!!!! He didnt paint anything plastic (ie mirrors, door panel, windshield trim etc), oh yeah get this, he didnt paint the sunroof :mad: . The side skirts, door caps, spoiler, and rear bumper all fit nice, but the side skirts and door caps are basically all fish eyes, looks like someone wrote a novel in braile on my car. My hood has tiny scrathes all over it toooo, im hoping a little turtle wax scratch remover can fix that. As for the f bumper, ill post up pics so u all can see how terrible it is, maybe even get some opinions on how i can salvage it. The only good thing about my car: i only paid the guy $1k cuz he sux and is a moron, so now i still have $1500 left over to try and take it to someone compitent. Ill get pics up in a couple of days and hopefully i can get it fixed, GOD DAMN NOTHING GOES RIGHT WITH MY CAR!!!!!!

that sux dude ... sory no ideas here..except it sounds like maco could have done a better job haha

Was there a contract/agreement signed?

Na, i was just a guy my step dad knew, he did a great job on some other vehicles, but just f'd up my shiznit. My car looks good from far away, like if im driving it u cant tell, but the closer u get, the worse it looks.

Did you tell him it looks like ass?

I wasnt there, my parents picked it up. They told him it was awful, and that they were only gonna give him $1k of the $2500 he was asking, so i think he got the message.

if it were me i would take him to small claims court..
SERIOUSLY. $1000 is alot of money for a shitty shitty ass job..
Friend or not he hosed you bad. Go talk to him and tell him you want your money back. tell him you'll pay for materials and thats all.

Well, i could probly get like $300 or $400 back at most, and after court fees and all that, it wouldnt be worth the time and effort. I'll show u all pics and let u judge for urself, ill get em up thurs probly.

That is incorrect. They will tack on the fees on top of what you are asking for.

Damn, i sanded down my white car by myself, and took it to this guy to prime and paint and he only charged me 500 bucks, and it came out GREAT! and i am sorry to hear about your loss man, i hope it all gets settled!

i am sorry to hear about your loss man

Woah, the cars not dead, just fugly a little bit. I'm gettin over it, im gonna wait 6 months and hope something hits me :D , plus maybe by feb or march they'll have a different urethane front bumper out for my car, and i wanna get M3 mirrors, so it'll all work out. I still have my Thermal exhaust to look forward to, and i got my AEM CAI on, so they car is still coming along. At least now i can get my engine swap $1500 sooner, and get the exterior crap afterwords. PICS UP THURSDAY, so u can see how it looks, and lemme know wat u think.

Your loss isn't your car... It's the $1000 you paid to have someone fuck it up! I would've done it for free. I would seriously get my money back from that guy. You could've gotten a better paint job from Maaco for half of that money that you lost, and been alot happier with the results!

Your loss isn't your car... It's the $1000 you paid to have someone fuck it up!

Oh yeah, didnt think about that. I dont think im gonna sue them, so ill just have to have to live and learn, and then get luvs (well everything but the last part.) Anyways, the kits on thats good, i guess, i dunno i just wanna see the guy and :finger: :flamer: :rocket: :eshooter:
