My jaw literally dropped... and he paid $750 to have it painted and installed. Thats like the going rate for a GOOD job.

I wouldn't accept that if it was free. Poor Z... and that kit is normally real nice too.

That guy could screw up a snap together model.

LOL this is on the lexus forums too-- This shop is soooooo shady-- I've had my own bad experiences at this shop and the guy refuses to own up to his mistakes/mess-ups.

I would never have driven the car home. I would have left it there and returned the next day with a lawyer.

This should be moved to the Pacific South Forum. So many people in So Cal know about this place. Please move to right area.

Wow, that's just awful! Not acceptable one bit. What sucks is that guy said he wouldn't be able to sue cuz he had already paid and signed off on the paperwork. That's a no-no

it reminds me of the horrible job MPH motorsports did for the installation/paint of my five axis kit. They totally screwed it up. Everyday I look at my orange peel side skirts with dimples..
