I def wouldn't, I feel bad for that guy. There was a thread about this too, and the shop made it seem like the guy who made this video was the bad guy.

Bottom line that car should not look like that, especially since how much money was put into it. :

That sh*t is crazy. I've read about some pretty bad stuff from that shop but this just topped it off. Damn, that guy spent well over 6k too... Some crazy stuff... They used to be a good shop too, according to some people on other forums... Guess stuff changes pretty quick.

something dont seem right. 1st off the guy was way to calm to come up to his evo looking like that. i would of hurt someone. 2nd he is driving up to pruven and seems to me he know's what his car looks like. and for saying proven performance 90 time's in his vid seems somthing is shady. i would not leave my car at ANY shop for a year and 3 munths like he said. there is deffenently something missing from this story. i think someone is lieing or not telling what really happen.

if his car was left there for a year or so i would go out and say it is because he brout the car there. told them do this and that and the guy all along had empty pockets. so he was saving up while the build was going on. that is the only thing i can think of.

In his video from January, the car was on the dyno making 687whp. It's not like this car just sat and sat.

I'm guessing homeboy ran out of money and they said "come get it if you're not going to pay for it."

just because the crap is everywhere does not meen they did that. he was way to calm in that vid. i would be at the frunt desk with my cam seeing whats up.

the body was all f'ed up as well. it had to of arived like that. he was just like o look a sratch. and again at proven performance. i would be knocking that building down if they scratch'd my ****. i here a guy sweeping in the back ground. i would put that broom in places on the guy who did the work i cant say on the internet. i think something is missing from what we are seeing
