Sharif may have made good on some of his mistakes, but come on, we have all heard of bad stories from customers that gave business to not only Forged but also GTM. I honestly couldn't understand how an incident such as the one in question here, could truly shock or surprise anyone that has been in the community for any decent amount of time.
You don't sound sorry. Who are you and why are you hiding under this anonymous new screen name in So Cal? I don't participate in rumor mongering nor do I involve myself in the personal affairs of others. I can only speak to what I have direct experience with. What is your direct experience other than forum gossip and what is your motivation for the personal attack?

Routine builds should be boring because those people paid tons of money to get their car perfect. That is what FP and GTM are in business to do- put out amazing cars. Its not like you should be paying them more to do it right. So when it isn't done right it is a big deal. When it is done right... well... to be honest it just means the customer got what they payed for.

Again I don't have a preference with either shop and my friend has been at the end of the beating stick with both shops for both time and money. Ultimately FP was the one who tried to remedy this issues albeit on their time frame.

With that said, the G37 in the other thread would be a huge deal if the car had been shipped to the customer in that manner. However, since the customer took the car prior to completion that is an unfair hit against FP. You can clearly see on that G37 that the kit fit like crap.
No offense taken - this is a solid post and I concur. I cannot comment on the kit fitment with those early kits, but I do think top shops can reasonably be held to higher standards. They get more business because of it, so why shouldn't they also shoulder the responsibility? Makes sense.

^^ We even have Paparazzi quoting folks from the west coast talking down to Raj. This is shaping up to be a fantastic pre-party to ZdayZ.

Like I said, what started out as solid info has, in true My350Z style, devolved into gossip and trash talking. I haven't been on here as much lately, and now I remember why...

Careful Mike, the medical board may vote to back you down to a nurse practitioner and you will have to work "two days a week",.. instead of the "one day a month" you currently enjoy,.... same pay though I'm guessing

scott bush or one of his nuthuggers probably again ...what a facking *** hat....

great catch.... considering none of his whole post had anything to do with the topic at hand .... its funny that he acts as if vindicated from this probably, he doesn't realize his level of fail/leech/scam/vrt-history is unquestionable and both shops currently arguing with each other would not even give 10 cents for the shack he calls his shop. I don't know of a single vendor on any decent site that feels sorry for that looser mr S. or his cronies.
