Default you get what you pay for = nastiness!!!

over spray galore and very dirty car over all

this is what you call a 50 foot car (that looks good from 50 feet away)





























look at his blue power wire for his amp and look where it goes

Damn, damn... it just kept getting worse. Who owns that thing?
Some of the worst overspray I've ever seen. The amp power cable is priceless.

the guy is on here, and he did put alot of work in that thing but it seems he was in a hurry to get it finished for a show or something, and he had to make part of the kit, fortunately alot of those issues can be fixed easily, though I agree the interior needs to be cleaned and the seats probably replaced

well alot of it is the cleanup work, whoever painted it needs to go back over it and do a cut and buff, remove the runs and hit the overspray with laquer thinner

I agree that most of it is just clean-up work .........I just think that for someone to go to all of that trouble to show every flaw on someone else's ride is pretty **** imo.

it is, but if they showed the owner the issues as well, it might ____ the owner off, but in most cases it will make them want to get those issues fixed immediately, I've got issues that it seems only I see with my front lip, and rear bumper top, that I don't like but won't fix till winter

Ok first things first tell me you guys went to Chuck E Cheese's after that show

I don't understand why you would put that much money into modding and not require perfection? I know would want exactly what I paid for and nothing less.

I agree. Seems kind of juvenile to post all these picks just to point out the flaws.

It's a great "How not to do things" post. Details are important.

Hopefully somebody will learn from that.
