+1 for pictures to the OP. This could very well turn into a why not to go to them thread, which to me seems very appropriate... I am so surprised they haven't chimed in, vendors on here usually jump on situations like this...

if i ever got my car back like this i would have freaked the hell out. never would i expect any so called top notch shop to do this type of hack job. this is almost as bad as when PROVEN performance did that disaster of a job on the black 9.

this build inspired me enough to change my signature quote

That picture should be called " not taking pride in your work ".. If my techs dont have Tbolt clamps facing the same direction i go nuts.. Let alone different clamps on 1 coupler.. that wont fly here..

this quote comes from the thread that st0k3d posted about this car when he posted up the final numbers.
