this is jaw-dropping..

Post by bodhi_tree777 »

found this link on MO.com, it's worth looking at, one of those "signposts on the road of life" kind of moments. Lots of reading, but the pictures speak for themselves.http://my350z.com/forum/lounge....htmlsorry if this has been posted before, if it has I couldn't find it.

Also look at how crappy that body kit was to begin with. A kit that fit that car properly wouldn't need shims, or 'door adjustments'! Still that doesn't excuse the horrible paint and installation methods by the shop.
