Wow, just went outside to take my car for a cruise and let the bass take away my depression. Amp is now dead. Doesn't turn on at all, no lights. Nada. Great.

edit:

Awesome. Discovered that the reason why my battery strut bar thing wasn't installed was because the audio installer didn't put the optima bracket back in.

=)

haha your car sucks.

No seriously though I feel for you. Luckily I have a friend of the family in the body shop biz so i get taken care of for cheap. I hate to say this but.......no one can do it as good as you can. AKA Learn to work on your own car.

I died inside when I read that you took your car to a shop to have the lug nuts changed out.

Update:

Good:

-New audio setup on the way

-Bought new tails

Bad:

-Was suppose to repaint the rear Nismo pod, he sure did and did a shitatstic job with it. It is completely ruined with fish eyes everywhere.

-Dropped my tail lights and there is a huge chip on the driver's side and a crack on the passenger's side. Says he won't charge me for the retint........


Sent him a PM yesterday. He's been online all morning, will give him till late afternoon to respond. Believe me I am a VERY patient person, but I am starting to lose it.

^Dude I am seriously depressed. The guy is online and is viewing threads while i'm trying to reach him via PM and cell phone.

I really want to hope that he is just busy or something as he just lost his job and has a fiance and kid.

This was my pm to him:

I saw the chip this morning on the driver's side light, wasn't happy but I dealt with it. I then walk around and notice that the passenger side light is cracked too and that the whole tint job is spider webbed. The headlights also have a lot of spots still and the passenger headlight looks like it has some kind of large scratch or something as if it was dropped too.

Jake, that repaint on the rear passenger wing is just unacceptable man. I think i've been very patient but this is just turning into a nightmare for me. The whole thing is rough and sticky, it looks like an absolute mess.

I don't know man, I don't have a lot of money and new tails and headlights cost a grip.

If anything at least help me redo the rear wing on the passenger side man, it looks absolutely horrible.











*sigh*

I really don't want to make it public on the other forums moreover take it to a small claims. I'm giving him 48 more hours to respond until I make it public on the other forums.
