Owner of the Z seems to dumb. 750 paint job for all 4 corners will not get you quality work.

no matter how cheap it is, there is a limit to how presentable it needs to be and that is definitly not acceptable.

I saw that link the other day on nasioc and i sent the link to my husband who does body work. He said the 350z guy got what he paid for sad but true. Since his origonal quote was for 250 there is no way to get all that done for 250. Sucks for the dude but research your shops first.

Wow... those screws... I'm scared now, I've been looking around Hayward for a body shop to paint my sideskirts.


Off topic
Have anyone tried Rainbow Body Shop? And does $400 for both sideskirts sound okay?

Sorry to say this, but the guy kinda deserved what he got... A job like that would have realistically cost around $3 to $4k to have it done right.

For those of you who don't know me.. Yes, I know what I'm talking about. I do body work. And, those who have gone through me say I do awesome work! Thanks to all those who support my work here! FTMFW!
