Default Good Body Shop Near Louisville KY?

Has anyone near Louisville, KY had one of these 6LE Designs T-top roof panels put on? Apparently these roofs need significant prep work before being installed and I need competent shop to do it. I had to figure this out the hard way. I was having it put on at a local shop and they went ahead and primed/painted it without any prep and it looks like ****! All kinds of flaws. 6LE does say this on their site so I can't really blame them. I should've paid more attention and made sure the body shop had this info. I guess I figured any professional body shop would know how to handle these types of parts. Luckily the shop is not charging me for their work, but they don't want to mess with it now.

the part

I have it at Hunt and Knight right now. I went to pick it up today and soon as I walked up on the car I felt tightness in my chest. They put the roof on crooked! And the little triangles next to the windows were not flush with the body. He said he would knock a couple hundred off if I would take it as is, but I sad no. They're gonna have to try to remove it and adjust or buy a new one and redo the whole process.

Hey BLK95-Z, have you had any problems getting this roof on and looking exactly like stock?
