It appears that his goal with that body kit was to make the car uglier, so mission accomplished.

LOL!
Drywall screws and wood shims! I'm guessing some of the unemployed from the building sector have gone into the auto body business! |

Let's see:
You get what you pay for. Out of sight out of mind. I love the use of drywall screws, keeps the weight down. Heck, It's a Nissan. The car was most likely in "The Fast and The Furious" |

Just reading the PMs from the shop would be enough of a red flag for me.

I'm usually first in line to get a good laugh at someone, but man, that's harsh! Messing with a guy's ride like that, I can feel his pain. That car is ruined.
It is his fault, though. Anyone who expects decent work, to have all of that done, parts AND labor, for $750 is out of his mind. I'm sure a quick scan of the other cars in the shop, and a few meetings with the owners, would have given plenty of other clues to run, forrest, run. But, no, like a MM customer, he was blinded by the cheap price which caused him, I'm sure, to ignore all the red flags. |

AIM? is that still around? I think it looks hella sweet bro. There are so many of those "gooks of hazard" cars out here and they all look just as bad.

Good thing it's only a ricer-boy-wet-dream car and not a real car.

amazingly bad work.
what is really amazing is that nobody has given the crafters a complimentary two by four massage for their efforts. |

Ricer-boy or not, it's still a $30,000 car all messed up by an incompetant idiot. If a shop performed work like that on ANY of my cars, they would be looking at one PO'd guy.
