Is that rust? Why, yes. Yes it is.

Look at the stock bumper, then look at the lip kit.

There's NO clear on the lip kit underneath there.

Mmmm, orange peel.

Stock compared to painted lip.

Ohhhh, very nice.

The kit on the ends is smooth to the touch. As in, NO PREP WORK WAS DONE.

Wait wait wait...what's this?

So much for flex additive...

Rear lip...

Just by looking at the sides and rear, you can easily tell they're not color matched.

Kit coming apart from the bumper.

Clear overspray. Who doesn't love overspray?

This is on the ENTIRE car by the way. Not just a little here and there.

I don't even want to know what the hell happened there...

That car is hot. The car just looks dripping wet right now. Really though all I can honestly say right now is WOW.
 
That is just SAD! It looks like it was done by a couple of redneck kids in the driveway with dad's power drill and some rattle can paint. These are supposed to be professional paint and body guys? Hello lawyer...
 
tell me about it..I dont personally know the guy, but I felt compelled to look out for the automotive community as a whole so I posted it. How can anybody expect to stay in business after screwing somebody over like this?? here's his info.

I am no expert but those screws look like wood screws, I think I could have done a better job, and I know nothing about bodywork. I would be getting a lawyer, that car is going to be a junker now.
 
Jesus, even the rednecks I know wouldn't do it like that! They'd at least use self tapping metal screws HA!

That's pathetic..... How much did the guy pay for the "paint job" and "body work"?
 
He would have been better off using duct tape, at least it would have been flexible and probably a better color match. What a shame to see such a nice car ruined.
 
Actually, I thimk that those are drywall screws!

I can't believe that anybody that does thak kind of "work" would still be in business.
 
That is absolutely horrible. That car will have some crappy resale value now and I know the owner doesn't want to keep it.

Actually I think your correct about the dry wall screws which makes me wonder why they didn't tape and spackle the seams. It couldn't have looked any worse then it does. All kidding aside, I can't imagine what he felt like when he went to pick up the car. There is nothing they could do other then buy him a new car, that could fix the horror performed to his Z. I hope he recieved justice.
