You tell me what's fair
I dropped off the car with three weeks to go for the East Coast Bash. He promised me he would finish in two weeks to give me at least a week to have the rest of the car assembled (cage, motor work, alignment etc.) 7 weeks and several unreturned calls and emails later I was given this beauty. Before (I wanted it to look like this again) Disassembled upon drop-off. Skirts and spare Vertex bumper inside car. Truck bed liner applied to bumpers without my consent Brand new leather. Thank God I took the interior out before I dropped it off Prep job Half painted mirror Unmasked trim Sanded trim Dents This bumper fit before This whole side was never touched by a buffer. Dents galore. Bumper no where near lines up Exhaust, primed and painted I was called from the paint store to confirm the color I wanted. This was supposedly mixed last week. This clearly says 2006. My Aero is untouched, just drips and overspray And the kicker, this happened to my SC last week.

WOW WTF! Good luck getting this straightened out. I would have loved to have seen you face upon picking the car up. Please keep us updated on what happens next.

FUUUUUUUUUU
Yeah, dude... they better cover the cost of getting it redone right. There's no reason you should have to eat the cost of fixing a f***ed up job like that.

ob. good thing you have the agreement in writing. i am fairly certain that this would be considered a legal contract as long as both parties agreed. therefore, him saying that you owe him additional money is nowhere near correct. the agreement is for a set cost, so he cannot suddenly decide to charge you for full price.

you might be screwed, if you didnt have anything in writing as far as contracts for work and terms of sponsorship. i would definitely try to re-coop as much of your money as possible...that work is unacceptable regardless of discount for sponsorship. If he makes you eat it i would release his name to the forum masses as to the quality of his work. Are you going to talk to a lawyer? or not worth your time? I hope this isnt a TST member or vendor. good luck
edit: what happened to the SC?

Woooow. That's just wrong. How can a business put their name on kind of work?

Get yourself some zipties and you'll blend right in with the new driftorito trends!
I kid, Obe-miester. I'm really sorry to have seen this happen to your freakin' awesome whip. Get 'em.
