Angry look at this show quality work...yea right !!!

look at this show quality work.... ok so I go to the body shop that my local lexus dealer commissions all of there body work to. I wanted to get my RMM wing painted and installed along with the passenger mirror needed to be repainted. So they give me the estimate I make the appointment then drop off my car they have my car for 3 days trying to paint and install the RMM wing. The painter says the wing sux and he has 15 hrs labor in installing the wing.I notice the underside of the wing is not stuck to the car he says don't worry just leave it in the sun, so I did 2 weeks later still not stuck down ROBERTS COLLISION {the body shop name} says they will not warranty because it's aftermarket and by now it's totally coming off the car. So I cannot wait in fear it's going to come all the way off and cause a collision I have another body shop remove and reinstall the wing properly !!! come to find out ROBERTS collision took off the 3m tape and used urathane glass adheasive to install along with this piece of crap [pics] when confronted with this ROBERTS said "they do show quality work" I laughed and said is this show quality and I showed him the piece of wood,he had nothing to say then he said well I would'nt have put that wing on my car to begin with.So remember even if you go to the dealerships body shop they are not always the best !!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the bad experience. I have always had great luck with Gene Perez but you have to be willing to spend the bucks. Also, Ronnie Setzer does great work in the area and is a little more $$ friendly.

I planned on installing my own L-Tuned stuff, aren't you? I hear it's DIY bolt on.

Which shop did you end up at?
