I was going to have my Nismo kit done there as well, but Alex told me i should have my kit done some where else. Man, that sucks Alex. Delays after delays....do they know that they are losing customers like there is no tomorrow?

wait till I get the car (shell) delivered next week, and I'll make a fair judgement and let you guys know. I would never hold out on my Z brothas...just want to make sure it IS the best when it's completely done.

also....the bottom of my CF lip was really scratched up... They sanded it down, and re-cleared it. Now it looks brand new like it JUST came from C-West.

i don't count on bodyshop anymore. As soon as you refer new customer to them, they will get slack off and fark it up.

Yeah well I would get your cash back then your safe. Or atleast half! Its fugged up but no one is going to finish that job for under 6k. I can tell you this. Its going to cost about 3k just to take all that shiet off! Then bodywork will have to be done to the car where they grinded on it. No telling how much thats going to cost. Atleast your able to get good advice on this site. Bodywork will make or break your paint job. On the plus side, atleast the glass and bondo thats on the car now has had time to shrink.
