My guess is that they trusted someone at the shop with this build that they shouldn't have, probably some greeny, and they didn't check up to make sure the work was done correctly. The shop gets a fail on both accounts for sure.

However, just because one car came out of that shop all hacked up it doesn't mean there isn't good techs there who are probably looking at this thread shaking their heads. Of course then you have to ask yourself where they were while this was being done.

IMHO a good tuner should have caught quite a few of these problems and put a stop to them at the tune as well.

HOLY **** *******!!!!!!!! It pays to have a tight community of friends that also like to pay attention to detail when installing parts on our cars here in nc. I'd be demanding a refund as I'd want not one more person touching the car from that shop. What a shame.....

Wow...sometimes it's scary thinking about what a shop can do with your hard earned money.

<<Takes note...reassurance for my parts from CBRD

Even aside from the poor workmanship that car looks rough. Look at all the rust... from the struts to the radiator mounts there is orange everywhere yikes.

I can understand if there was one mistake made, and then you could blame it on a green tech and the main guys didn't notice it, but this? Holy **** man! I have never seen anything like this! I worked in dealership service for 5 years and even there I never saw anything like this.

Thanks for posting this, and I will definitely steer clear from the world record breaking 1.2 cf shop in the future.
