Dear......God....

[shortydragon]

holy crap! that is just wrong in so many ways. its like they actually hated the guy and f***** his car up on purpose!!!

[Supersprynt]

He made two HUGE errors. Picked up a car from a body shop AT NIGHT. Signed off on work that obviously could be better done by monkeys.

[D-Man]

[presure2]

i was reading this last night linked from celicatech.
now, mind you, i work at a maaco. lol
i have seen some stuff that would make you CRINGE.
but i have NEVER seen anything like that.
that just makes me sick to my stomach, and its stories like that that made me start working on my own car, and what made me take the job at maaco (for the bodywork experience.)
i mean hell, we are the macdonalds of paintjobs. we paint COMPLETE vehicles for as little as 350$.
and even THOSE jobs come out looking better than that work.
i gotta be honest tho, on some level, seeing work like that gives me a sense of satisfaction in knowing even with the limited experience i have painting (a year of painting cars is NOT "experienced") i would NEVER let somthing like that go out the door of our shop.
hell, i put 2 small runs in shannons car, and had no choice but to deliver it that way ( she needed the car back) and it KILLS me every time i see it,(and that was when i had even less experience than i have now) and cant wait to paint the car again for free to make up for it, and to show them what i can actually do.
if that were my car, someone would be getting SMASHED to the surface.

[supershannon77]

Aww Manny I didnt even notice the runs until Jim pointed them out to me and explain what was going on...you are to good to me..your a good friend I love you man.........I also read this on celicatech yesterday or a few days ago and couldnt believe how someone could send that off as a completed job...I mean how do some people sleep at night

[dustin15brown]

i read this on my350z when it first came on... i actually teared up

[Daftboy]

[xredjokerx]

thats some messed up stuff... kinda reminds me of woodshop in 8th grade. i think i could have done the same quality work then.

[Batman722]

holy bananas !!

that is the worst thing I have seen...the body shop must of hated the guy to do work like that, or the shop workers were about to quit after they did one last FU job for the owner.

[devilsden97]

LOL omg

[x_itchy_b_x]

drywall screws lol wtf.

[parriehunter]

Yea thats got a big wtf.

I could do a better job with one arm and one eye.

[95st-celica]

that dude was on coke when he did that...actually they were both on coke, the owner and the painter

[Redline08]

no human being with even a slight knowledge of body work could produce such sh!t. It HAS to be a "im quitting after this" "**** this place" kind of job. They were not serious about that at all for sure.

[purplegt4]

that's pretty good for finger paint. and holy cow for the bondo over screws!

sucks

I hope that shop gets what they deserve.

[xs94st]

not gonna lie. whoever put these fake/custom sides on my car used some screws to screw it into the bottom. never tried to remove it cuz i'm afraid of what would be there.

[Hanyo]

I dont get the joke....


I mean seriously, who can be that dumb to mess up a body kit install.
If they are letting an new employee work on the car, isn't he supervised? Doesn't the boss know the word quality control?

[tomazws]

I can't believe such horrible thing actually happened.

[Random_Stranger]

Chainsaw Massacre of autobody. That is some scary $#!T. Even suing takes time and a long process. How messed up of work.

[95st-celica]

the dude with the 350 must have been a retart to take his car there..i mean...this looks like the guy went to his local drywall wholesaler, picked out the person that looked least bodywork friendly and told him, "Hey, put this kit on for me" i mean...i would have at least watched him do some of it at the shop to see the progress/how he was doin it....honestly its really not that hard to put a body kit on even if you have no experience....i even feel better painting the car myself so i know i havent missed anything rather then take it to a local shop...i dunno but personally i would just beat the sh!t out of this dude for even thinking that this would fly...what a damn jackass

[madmods]

My guess is that its a copy of a copy kit. The kit looks like it wouldn't fit. Body shops are good for pulling out dents and painting. Putting on a kit involves precision. You have to warp fiberglass with a heat gun, remove glass with a dremel, add glass if needed. Its not an easy job. Those sideskirts are great.
I got to wallpaper that job.

[CelicaST_CALI]

now all he needs is an interfooler

[Valo666]

man...i thought ive seen some bad paintjobs before...but thats by far the worst job ive ever seen. Like i actually started to feel physicaly sick looking at thouse pics. I remember how frusterated i was when i got my celica back from the bodyshop and i had overspray and orange peel and some little bumps on the paint where th gun got clogged. I remember how pissed i was when i went back and complained, but i would hate to be that guy.

[creis]

Very very sad poor car!!! some people just done care about others, what happened to being a decent person and taking pride in your work?

[Pipo]

Wow thank god I didnt have that guy putting my kit together

[GriffGirl]

That seriously makes me nauseous. I couldn't even imagine the extent of my rage if I took my car to a shop and got that in return. Then again, I wouldn't have signed for the work until AFTER I inspected the car in the day time. I understand he was eager to get his car back after so long, but man that's just horrible. I just truly cannot imagine what I would do. I would seriously have a hard time controlling my anger with that guy. I know it's just a car, but it's about the principal. After 12 or whatever days and $700+ dollars, not to mention more $$ and downtime to rectify the damage, I would seriously flip my sh*t and want to start lighting things on fire.

[TRD_Ian]

well u get what you pay for...un sure what he paid..maybe some one jump in with a number....i assume he paid little for the ****tie kit and the work to be done...good body work takes a long frigin time i have a quote for my celi for 3500 dollars... to repaint the whole car.fix a lil rust and fix up my front end that some shabby shop painted it before i owned it..also shavin wiper antena and gas door/blinkers....but 3500 dollars aint cheap by no means..my car will see top of the line paint and clear...along with a good wet sand and couple coats of clear...can't wait.........but i could go give 500 bucks to the on eyed coke head/drunk down town a screw driver and some sheet rock screws and get the same effect...maybe better lol.......two ppl need to be slaped here...the shop owner and the car owner..i dont care how dark it is when u pick it up..u see a million screws in ur door jam u dont let that slip

[Toyota_Celica_97]

that shet got to hurt. but i wouldn't blame the owner who know that shop going to be like that, but i would be useing crazy on someone when i get my car back like that. i was thinking of takeing my car to the body shop to get my c-one bumper on but after reading that post in not so sure i would like to take it in. i would take my chance of me doing it lol. 750+ for that junk work. i guess that guy have to be super drunk to work like that. atleast make the screw striaght up lol. over spray please my little 3 year old can spray my car better then that. i guess i be installing my body kit after seeing this lol.

[CaliJeff]

I just got my cone bumper painted and returned to me yesterday. After reading this earlier, i inspected the whoooooole cumper for flaws hah

[CAMAricer]

Holy crap! My Celica's body kit was done just like this too! Wood used to attach bumpers, trimmed side skirtsh held on by screws AND nails, spoiler attached with silicone, etc.

The problem was that I had it done in MA and was in the process of moving back to CA. So I literally picked my car up from the body shop on Friday, and drove back to CA on Sunday morning, two days later.

I can laugh about it now, but yeah...paid about $800 (don't remember exact amount) to paint and install the kit.
