Wow man now that is some BS work bro! It cleary wasn't prepped correctly and looks as if it is sprayed with some black gloss protective enamel.. You could do a better job on that even if you have zero skills with painting but have a desire for perfection. I'd take it off sand it, clean it, and give it a shot. It'd worth it IMHO for the painting experience alone.

Yeah i'm not even sure what to think anymore.

I just knew that I was getting a new kit and a bunch of audio stuff on the way and I envisioned this awesome red and black themed Nismo V2 z. Instead it's some frankenstein.

It's like i'm paying to make my car look worse.

Hmm...so when things couldn't get any worse....

1. I got the new subwoofer box, made by a different guy this time, in and to my surprise the sub didn't fit. The sub won't even mount. Awesome. Just awesome. (Despite the fact that I have informed the box maker of the exact specs of the sub. Inch by inch)

2. I've made a thread in regards to the guy that fubar'd my paint. No response.

What a nightmare! When I picked up the front bumper from you and saw your car parked there bumperless, I was worried Murphy's Law was going to strike before you could get your Vette. It sounds like Murphy had his way with you.

I hope you can get your beloved Z back to the original condition you had it in. I think it is getting back at you for even thinking about a trade-in.

Best of Luck to 'ya.
