Thumbs down ah fak!

Well I had a shop weld a cutout on my exhaust. Good job done on the weld. But then as im trying to install my QTP plate i realize the cutout was welded too much to the front of the car and too close to the floor board. Damn QTP motor didnt fit. So i tried to bang the floorboard in. FAIL cuz i dont wanna *** it up further. So now i have to go back and have the guy do some mickey mouse **** and have my qtp motor fit. Oh well mostly my fault

I feel your pain, I had a manual one welded in as well and he was supposed to use a demo electric to get the angle right, well sure enough off by a 1/4 inch or so and so I had to install it upside down so it hangs low (temp solution) also the bolts on the manual are not long enough to fit the electrics I found and they are tack welded to the cutout. so I had to grind them off to fit longer bolts.
