Default So pissed right now...

So yesterday I'm trying to check out oil situation and I realize I haven't opened my hood since the body work was done to the car (the whole kit install). So I pull the hood release in the cabin and I realize the damn hood won't open. The idiots that installed the grill forgot that you have to push the little tab up to open it. Well, the little tab is jammed in a position where it cannot be moved. So after this I pretty much gave up on openning the hood. I figured that nothing else could go wrong in the install... I was wrong once again. I took off the mesh to get to the fog lights and I unscrew the housing and at this point the foglight is pretty loose, then I see that 2 screws were drilled into the fog lights from the front bumper, making it impossible to remove the housing at all. This is when I wanted to get a gun and go down to the shop. I bought 5 pieces and they've managed to correctly install 1 of those 5 pieces, the rear bumper. Both wings' glue didn't stick, a bad mix, and one wing flew off while I was on the highway. I can't open the damn hood cause the grill was put in wrong. I can't change out the fog bulbs... How the heck am I gonna put in my LLtek HID kit?

Is this not the biggest BS story ever? If anything else happens calling lawyer.

Man, that sucks pretty bad, any permenat damage, can anything be fixed? I would take it to another shop and get an estimate to get their crapy job fixed and then present it to them and tell them you want the cash or else. Good luck.

PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE GOING BACK DOWN TO THE SHOP!!!!!
You have too. Even if they dont fix the problem you got to let them have it. Ask a lawyer if he/she can come down with you, trust me it will help. They didnt do their job properly you cant let them get off easy.
Keep us updated
