It's hard to find another bodyshop to finish up this widebody project. I've called around and so far and couldn't find one. There are few but they can't guarranty the quality since they never done something like this before. The one that can do, they're all book up until next year. 
So i figure it would be faster to break the shiet down and slap on Ken Style and repaint the whole car again. Pmed Darren regarding Ken Style now. hehehe

It's 4 months now. I'm tired of hearing excuses and missing the delivery date. I guess i should watching their progress more carefully for the past 4 months instead of just drop the car there and let them take all the time they need. Yes, i don't drive this car anymore BUT it's still one of my baby.

In addition, there are few damage parts on my car:
1. Both of my headlight was badly sand down around the edge.
2. My left rear BBK was oversprayed to the point all you see is the white dots. Can't clean them out.
it's time to send in the bill to the shop's owner.

to the owner of the black ZR and White Z, get your car out of there AS SOON AS possible. In the past i always recommend this shop since they are doing a good job but since August everything start to fall apart. I should see this sooner and alert our north cal member.

If you want it finished let me know. Your looking at about 6k or so. My boy is off the chain with bodywork. Its a NO BS shop. Ive seen two day turn around on insurance stuff.
BTW its going to cost a shiet load to rip all that off and fix what they have done.

That's a whole bunch of labor for just that alone.
