Well, for what it's worth, Rob has called me back every time that he said that he would... but the fact still remains that I am still where I was when I finally got my car back.
I still can't believe that the body shop guy had the nerve to tell me that despite the fact that he was paid the money to replace my hood and did a shitty paint job, that he would still deduct the cost of the stock hood from the cost of the Sunoco hood. Not to mention the fact that he had promised to have the car completed by 3 deadlines, and made my uncle drive up to his shop to come back empty handed... not even a courtesy call. So Lou (the body guy) proposed to give me the difference of a new Sunoco hood MINUS the cost of that stock hood on my car.
WOW. Just ******* WOW!

Well, Rob called me this afternoon, and I spoke to the body shop owner, who "fixed" my car, regarding the shitty work that was done. And the body shop owner basically did not want to take any responsibility for any of the work that was done. He only took responsibility for the fact that my VFN Sunoco hood wasn't replaced and said that he would only cover the difference of the stock hood that he put on... He took absolutely no responsibility for the paint or the non-GM body panels that were replaced. Long story short is that he tried to tell me that I'm SOL.
Nobody seems to want to take responsibility for any of their ****, nor do they want to point any fingers. What the **** is that?!
I will be emailing Rob a list of all the issues, followed by more emails as **** comes up... he says that he will address them. So far, I got nothing...

I have been really busy at work lately, so I will have to take care of things when things slow down. Otherwise, it will have to wait until after work. Regardless of the power of attorney, I was still promised multiple deadlines that were NOT met in addition to a shotty paint job. Like the saying goes, "it looks good from far (really far...), but FAR from good."

I seriously don't trust shops anymore! I feel like you seriously need to walk into these shops like "Louie, The Leg Breaker" and let them know that if they mess with your car the next time you have to ask a question it'll be with an aluminum bat to the frig'n side of their skull! .... But, that's just my .02. lol!
... Honestly Mark, if it wasn't for having someone as trustworthy as Shant(Suck_My_SS) to pick up where someone else left me hanging(Won't mention the person's name! lol) then I probably would have parted out what was left of the damn thing and bought a truck instead....
Do you have any photos of how she looks as of right now?

A good part of the car has already been taken care of OUT OF MY OWN POCKET! And for what I am paying to have the car fixed, let's just say I could have bought myself a nice late model GM truck.

If you feel that way about performance shops, I definitely urge you to check out CMS. Hands down great people and a great shop. Ryne and Mike really know what they're doing, and get the job done right. I just left my SS with them for a new motor build (that they are building)

How do I represent that the entire PCM & BCM had to be re-pinned in order for the car to run properly? Regardless of some body panels and some paint, the car still looked like this when I got the car.....

Bent rims, bent intercooler, inoperable AC, inoperable gauges, fuel system looking like a rat's nest, i had to supply ANOTHER 90 mm throttle body. once i popped the hood, it looked even dirtier than the pics posted. YOU yourself expressed how fucked up it is...
Like I have been saying before, I have already spent way more than what blue book value for my car would bring...

So... while I have not uploaded any "new" pictures of my damaged car since the ones I originally posted doesn't seem to have substantial enough proof that it was fucked up in a wreck... what about my remaining parts that were removed from my Camaro???
-Hooker LT headers w/ 3" y-pipe
-turbo log manifold
-2 ea. turbo downpipes
-LS1 fans
-Nick Williams 90mm throttle body
-100mm MAF w/ pigtail
-HID kit
-Adjustable Borla catback Exhaust system
shall I keep going?
As many of you had already anticipated, I got absolutely NOTHING so far!! I'm tired of hearing bullshit that "the customer didn't want to work with the shop to make things right..."
