and if this is true......


I'd like to sue, but a lawyer told me that since I already paid the guy and signed off on the work, I can't?

he has an expensive pile of scrap

I think "Alf and Ralph" could have done a better job.

Wow, that is amazing that someone thinks they can do such an obviously horrid job and get away with it!

The guy said he paid $750 for that work? That sounds pretty cheap to me, is that what one would expect to pay elsewhere?

$750 sounds extremely high for a "lip kit" install. then again, ive never done that kind of work.

unless, of course you were being sarcastic.

if the install and paint is done CORRECTLY, $750 is a good price to paint and install a body kit.

For paint and install? No way, sounds really cheap. He got what he paid for I'd say.

Jason, I wasn't being sarcastic, and I am with Guff. I thought for painting something and installing it was low. I've never priced painting any aftermarket parts like that so what do I know. Maybe if the guy didn't use so many screws directly in the body he wouldn't have had to charge so much.
