I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them, but I don't know why you want to be mad at me...you've seen my car...they have always done good work for me and I thought they would treat everyone else the same way.

I never liked that venom body kit, probably because all the car I have seen that front bumper on has been silver and it made those huge holes in the front bumper look way too big and cartoonish. but check out this car with the venom kit on:
I finally like the venom kit on a car and it's all to do with the colour. Crazy. I guess a darker colour does not make those huge hole in the front bumper as overpowering and let's everyone enjoy the whole car instead of shaking their heads at the huge holes in the bumper.
Have you thought what colour you are going with? Or will you stick with silver?

Well, you did bring up the fact that you had problems with them before, after I called you to ask for help with it. I wish you had told me about those problems in the first place rather than building them up as the best body shop in the world.
As far as I'm concerned, Jerry is a crook and has not business painting anything more than a fence. The shop did $4-5k worth of damage to my car on top of doing a shoddy body job and overcharging me for it. Complete incompetence...

BTW, what color are you going with for the exterior?
Fitment:
Kit fits great...the one problem I have is that the Esprit Side skirts replace the 2 stock side panels that mount up to the car, and the new kit does not..so I need to order them...otherwise...a few more hours and we'll have the kit on

sorry I haven't posted anything on this project in awhile..the car is now finally in the shop. I'll just say that international shipping SUCKS!!!!
I should have updated pictures sometime this week. It would scare you to see what the car looks like right now!
