Nice hood but def needs to be re fiberglassed and painted.
06-10-2011
LOL sell it to someone thats capable of doing the work and painting it like me!

Even on the brand new hoods theres still about 200-300 of prep work so we talked about getting a new hood but considering there so expensive it was like we could but its not really going to save that much but yeah I payed way to much for this hood it probally wasn't worth $200
06-12-2011
Not at all but you live and learn. Hope everything works out for you.

So I haven't heared from the shop in over a week I sent them an email this morning and am thinking of calling. Maybe the hood just broke in half or somthing... and they don't know how to tell me...

Fiberglass is by no means hard work to do. Neither is prep. Fiberglass it, prep it, send it in for paint.

They may just be busy.
.... or possible put it over to the side to get the current job done, and then forgot about it

06-21-2011
ive done that alot, then you get a angry person showing up and saying wheres my crap youve had it for 3 weeks lol
06-22-2011
I'm not really upset but I am hopeing that he will be like oh sorry about the wait let me knock 200 bucks off... but thats wishful thinking
06-23-2011
you know what if you calmly mention that, it might work.
if you go in with a ******* attitude they wont care.
06-23-2011
and then after 6 weeks you go ape sh!t on them lol
06-23-2011
well being at a bodyshop.
it gets busy and sidework like the hood kinda get forgotten about, and i was dealing with a guy he was super calm about his hood i was painting it took a couple weeks, and he nicely asked for me to take a couple bucks off, **** he was nice about sure why not, if he was a dbag, then no he pays full price

I agree 100% if your going to go b1tch at a buisness do yourself a favor and stay home instead. Funny thing is you need them otherwise you never would have walked in their door in the first place! Or you could abide by my rule # 1 refuse to pay people for what I can do with my own 2 hands! Will it be perfect prolly not. Will it cost less you damn right and I'll bet I'd buy some new tools with the money I saved. Far to many people are scared of paint. Go search the honda-tech.com paint threads and see what guys have done with plastic walls and like 200 bucks worth of materials!!
06-23-2011
psh you need 98$ for paint and materials if you do it right
06-23-2011
I was talking for an entire car ^^^^
