That said, I'm not sure that having these guys give it another go is going to result in an outcome with which you're satisfied. A partial refund and a new shop might be preferable.
Im with you on not letting these guys have another go.

No more paint has been flaking off from the hood, just the bumper around the headlights.

Im gonna give it more time and see what happens.

Bought a chinese trim on ali express.

Surprisingly a thing so simple does not look too bad.


Also got this in the mail today




M6 Rear sway bar I scored for 100 bucks )



Looks thinner than I expected, but it does say 16MM. (original is 14MM)




Can't wait to get under the car and install it.
Wanted to do transfer case oil change, but it looks like it's more involved than I anticipated as the transmission support bar needs to be removed.


Counting down the days to purchase custom magnaflow exhaust from a gentleman on Facebook. and complete emissions delete.
