My car is in the shop right now and this scared the **** out of me. Holy crap I would not have been able to handle that calmly that is pure abuse of someone else's belongings. That person should be sued and then *** raped for that! Obvious the person who did the work was in way over his head...

WOW......

I've been Airbrushing/painting for 15+ yrs, I don't even know where to start? The icing on the cake is the WOOD SCREWS used to re-attach the bodykit ar e PRICELESS


They would make an entire CSI min-series outt've the carnage that would ensue if this was my vehicle...

WOW!

In any event, this is what happens when you take an otherwise nice car to a crappy ricer shop and have ricer garbage attached to it. You see this every day rolling down the street on Honda Civics and the like. The only difference here is that there is a nice car involved.

This should have never happened at any body shop but attaching that garbage to a 350Z is flat out retarded and was asking for trouble from the start.

It is pretty priceless how they used a jack to lift his doors (that is how they got dented).

Poor guy, hopefully he can recover from his own insurance company to correct some of the damage and will learn something from this...you get what you pay for!

I bought one of the first 2003 350Z Track sold in Northern California in 2002. I absolutely loved and enjoyed the car - it was my first sports car. Eventually I sold it when I got married. Seeing these pictures makes me very sad... I'm speechless and appalled...
