Hopefully this project will be done before next week when I drop off my body kit at Tommy's. Maybe I'll even see a glimpse of it in person and yes Alex, I finally decided on and ordered a body kit haha.

If you happen to be there today before they start working on my car you'll see what I'm talking about.
Paint chip on left door and rear bumper, over spary on mirrows,doors and other parts, rear brake light looks like it was sanded down but not painted, wrong bumper installed. The worst was the way it was detailed.
The swirl marks was so bad. The painter guy even tells the detail guy to change his pad because lots customer was complaining about the swirls. He said nothing is wrong with his detail. Then he tells me to wax my car every time I wash. I said, are you fu***ing crazy you want me too wax my car every time I wash my car
Oh and another thing when I pick up my car the first time, my gas tank was all the way empty to where the meter on the dash wasnt even flashing how many more miles I had, it was zero. Mr. Gio had to put gas in from a gas container so I can make it to a gas station. And I know I had lots of gas when I first drop it off.
Well I'm praying that they do a good job this time and not take so long. They had my car for a month for just a paint job without body work needed.

He also explane that they have a new painter that think he's god. But when ever he ****s up on a paint job he tells the detail guy to just buff it out. So right now the painter and the detail guy dont get along because their pointing fingers at each other. Anyways I'm not here to give them a bad rap. I do believe that they can do a good job and it was proven, just not on my car
. They just need to get a handle on their works and have them work together.Sorry Alex I'll keep my fingers of your thead now
By the way I dont think your car will be done today. I left there today around
11:30 and shop look empty. Only one there was the detail guy and guy in the office.
