Well they need to rerealign it, that sucks. I did a better job in 4 minutes in the parking lot on my friends broke *** car.

Just a question, but what brand are all these parts? I've seen some really ill fitting ****, just because it was made cheap. OEM &gt; *

I bought the parts from Opak Racing, a distributor around my area... so I have no clue as to who makes them exactly, but they are fiberglass, they are obviously horrible... appears they fucked me
to Opak
my body shop fully blames the parts..
where can i get 2 fenders, and a hood in new condition without paying mucho$

Id be blaming the parts aswell. Look at the gap on the passanger fender = huge. now look at how much room he has by his driver side light = none. That hood is WAY off!

the hood is (i found out AFTER i bought it)..
heres what he said
"Vis racings partner company named Genisis"...

the hood randomly has and keeps creating more dings in it yet its never been hit..

damn the OEM honda parts are worth more then my car is, anyone have good luck with any other fenders/hood/bumpers?? ... its making me want to sell the car

as far as how the hood is sitting... the passenger side rubber fell out which keeps it level... i figured id leave it out for a little cause at least it hugs the headlight nicer then the driver side lol

My feeling is that it "started" with shitty parts.

The body shop should have stopped work when they couldn't get them to fit correctly and call you to inspect and give instructions as to what you want them to do.
