Can you specify the problems with the installation?

They did a very poor job at fitting the aftermarket parts, also they didn't worked the fiberglass fenders at all to work out the waves. They did a carnage on the trunk lid when installing the rear wing. They didn't cover anything on the car when shooting the primer and the paint and there is primer and paint over spray all over. These are few pics of the destruction,

Finally got some pictures of the car with wheels and everything mounted. I still need to take care of some small details but overall, I'm satisfy with the outcome.
