I am very dissappointed. Sorry about the extra large photos. Maybe that's my way of venting.

That is horrible. I was expecting some pimp shots of your new kit. This is terrible news. File suit against the man that invented fiberglass. Also file suit against the man that invented the commercial car wash.

Yes I know I should've washed it myself, but washing and clay baring my car is takes to much time. Time I do not have, especially today. I took my car to this place just do to the fact that they do alot of work for us and that I would've expected them to take great care of it. And just for reference, no I did not run my car through a machine. They misjudged a moving curb, I guess.

That sucks the only machine I take my AC kit through is the touchless and that's only when in a hurry there's no moving parts on the ground either. Other than that I hand wash.

Well I hope to get this fixed real soon and I will not be the one paying for it. I will find out what the manager will do about this tomorrow. I hope their company has insurance, called luis at carson toyota $900.00 for a new front and about 5-600 dollars for paint and fitment....again!
