ive had my s14 for almost 3 years and have been working on it for a while. mainly body work. so hard to find parts and all. anyway, i did the s14mc conversion, brand new dupont paint with puple base, fiber images carbon hood, so on and so forth. the day i went to pick it up the paint was screwed up, so i had to wait another week to get it. i come back, the pain that was sprayed on was messed up, do to painter error. so it was wetsanded and buffed off. problem was that it took away a lot of the shine on one side. it was like, its all good, ill clay it in a month, as long as i get my baby. now, when they buffed the car they burnt some paint off on the rear. i said, its all good, some touch up paint is cool. i was in such a good mood i was getting my car nothing would let me down. WRONG. heres where it gets bad. i was driving home to do the z32 brakes and such, right on the 22 freeway, BOOM, tire blows. the car slams to the right , dented the side, and as the tire was spinning, tore my front bumper which i just put on, the one i bought from grant by the way. not only that, it tore the wiring down at the bottom, ripped out the turn signals, and a chunk of tire or something flies up and smacks my winshield and cracks it. not to mention the gouge left on the hood. the suspension might be tweeked, it was shakey driving home but it might have been the spare. it turns out the place i got the tires from gave me a used one, and they mountd it wrong so the tread flew off. all this and it was my first day driving it. to top it all off i jsut bought insurance the day before so it didnt cover any of the damage. if anyone has any fron end parts or side skirts, please email me @ [email protected], i just spent all my money on rent insurance, parts paint and labor just to lose it all on one lousy tire shop. any help will be appreciated. thanks
