Not all of the pics but you get the idea.

Couple people have told me im over reacting. Most of the damage warrents replacing the item, and most of the damage is from carelessness so thats why I think its a big deal.

well. it is pretty difficult to fit a cage in a full interior'd car. but if you plan it right- it can be done (it was done with my cage)

those plastic pieces look like they just tore out to get to and not even dremel'd to fit nicely. yea they should totally pay for those repairs / replacements..

you have every right to be pissed.
it's installation of rollcage

not installation of rollcage and scratchup and fukk up interior..


that swingarm is pretty sick tho- i give em props for that..

no front beams?

I knew it was hard, and they knew what i wanted and looked the car over and said they could do it. I could have accepted a couple nicks and scratches, $hit happens and people have bad days. But to me this is too much.

Yeah there are front beams, I just didnt get them in any of the pics. Unless you are talking about a halo.

i.e. the front beams that come over near the Apillar, where it would meet the swing arm.

Holy crap... that's really bad. Looks like there was a bar brawl inside your car.

Yet another reason never to get any work done at a shop that has "customs" anywhere in the name.

That is so terrible to see!! I think I would go into shock if I picked up my car and it looked like that!!

Who is your insurance company? I don't know if you've done it yet, ... but you coud get an repair cost estimate from the claim adjuster at a good repair facility. You shouldn't have to pay for it, and it would be an excellent way to document the cost of fixing that stuff.

There is no reason for the damage they did, ... there are Many Many people that have full cages and a nice full interior to match...

There is no excuse for shoddy workmanship. I understand that installing a roll cage is a tight fit, but this damage is cause by carelessness: get it done - get it done fast.

The cage itself is really nice. I will give them that. Everything is symetrical and fits in the tight spaces that they had to work with.

Hmm, maybe not the sweetest idea?

"Hi State Farm. I was having a roll cage installed in my car because I race it all the time and they damaged my interior, will you cover that?"

"Sorry to hear about your interior. No we won't cover that, and incidentally we're dropping you for racing your vehicle."

I don't know if all insurance companies are the same way, but I've heard of people being dropped entirely because it was found out that they race their car.
