here is a sample taken from my cell phone. First pic has all those white spots on my driverside door. Second picture, look at the far right in the middle. Thats on the driverside fender. This only 2 out of maybe 20 that they **** up. I would take pic of how bad the swirl are but my cell phone sucks.

issues:

1 : paint imperfections / paint match

2 : bad fitment all the way around...front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts(other members with the same shine auto kit have way better fitment)

3 : utter lack of communication(i had to constantly call and go there to get them to work on my car)

I have front bumper paint match imperfections even though i insisted that I go out and buy the PPG paint myself, the owner insisted that he WOULD use PPG which I KNOW he didn't, because of the results. I've had another shop spray PPG paint and clearcoat that I went out to buy myself from an outside source and the paint matching is flawless

Tommy's bodyshop, in my opinion, is one of the worst shops i have ever seen. There seemed to be no organization at all. Parts laying everywhere, not to mention the people there seemed unfriendly as you ask questions regarding their work. I would stay away from that shop.

My observation indeed. To me, first impression is always the most important factor in determining a good shop. Tommy's failed miserably when I stopped by . Alex also recommended me to Tommy's as well when i got my Nismo kit.

I'm a very fair person. If a shop/vendor do a good job, i'll have my review. If they fark up, i will have a review also. They start to go downhill since June of 06 and since then, i don't recommend anyone to go there anymore. About you recommend your customer to them statement, PLEASE..whatever man. Don't even pull that shiet with me.
