My front end...
Ok, so a while back I showed you guys about my "hit&run" situation and how the front bumper was fucked. Well, I took it to the shop and they fixed it blah blah and afterwards the guy said something was wrong with the bumper support or something like that. He didn't really specify. So anyways, my left turn signal goes out in the next couple days so I decided to take a look at the front end as I replace the light. Anyways,here's what I found.
drivers side: dented and holes welded over?
passengers side: not dented but holes welded over?
so with this being the case only 2 bolts hold my bumper support and what's worse is that it's the lower left on the drivers side and the lower right on the passengers side
also my hood isn't aligned and my bumper isn't either...

all they did was order the bumper basically and put it together as well as fixing the hood. but the holes are fucked. i should've done this all myself but have it painted. Maybe I smooth the dent out and grind it down some.

it ended up being like 300-400 for parts and almost 1000 for labor. ******* bullshit. this is why i insisted on not taking my car to the shop. they didn't even drill the the holes back or try to. my bumper is un aligned and theres a little gap under both my light along with a mis aligned hood. ******* bullshit! i guess im going to do the "real" 99-00 front end conversion with a 00 rad support.

Re: (takendaily)
dude, that shop rapped you. why didn't you shop around ?
I got into an accident just a few days ago, and I also fucked up my rad support hood and bumper, even broke my driver side JDM head light. so now I'm using all my turbo money for total body work. new everything with a nice fresh paint of BMW's Imola Red.
it's going to be sweet.
but I'm getting new rad support, new bumper, and new hood.
this guy will do everything right. he has letters covering all his wall from happy customers. and they all said that it was way nicer then expected. and everything looked 100% brand new. and on top of that, he's not that pricey. he's very fair. there was also work paper lying around from towing company with $1000s of dollars that customer paid to get there car to him, just so he can fix it.
I'm really glad he lives 10 minutes from my house.
anyways, go back to the shop and tell them they did a shitty job and they you'll sure for overcharging labor that they never did, since the car is still fucked.

My dad wanted to take it to the closest shop and I told him not too. Seriously, I only trust people I personally know dealing with my car or friend recommendations. I showed my dad how it looked and he was kind of mad but knowing him, he won't do anything about it.
