FU*K ,FU*K , FU*K,THIS REALLY REALLY SUCKS . i just picked up my car and found out that they put ANOTHER dent in the same fu*king spot as the last time. the shop manager is a big fu*king lair, he told me that he was going to take off the front kit and side fenders of the car to prevent and dents from forcing a tool in there to tighten up the screws. so i said ok . because i did not want to take anymore chances of dents on my side fenders again.thats because we had that same problem before the shop manager force a tool in my fenders the first time to tighten a screw and did not take off the kit either thats how i got my first dent in the same spot. so i left in the morning and came back in about 5 hours to pick it up and found another fu*king dent in the same area . AND THE DOORS WERE NOT LINE UP because he was lazy and did not want to take off the kit again so that it will take much less time to try to screw the bolt back in without taking off the fender and front bodykit. its now really difficult to get in and out of the car .plus the door is NOT even close to being line up. it leaning towards the floor . so when i want to close it . i will have to go down the car and LIFT the door up so it lines up with the door locks then push it in. this is terrible . so when i went back to the shop those ASSHO*ES said that the boss is not there and that he was probally not going to do it again . so that means after they got lazy , lied to me about taking off the kit AND put another dent on my car . then they say we are no longer going to do anymore more work on the car.this is really pissing me off. angry angry angry hey wil i was wondering do you know if its still possible to tighten my doors if they are hanging towards the floor when they are open? they are just offline when open.its really hard to explain they must have finish it in about 20-25 mins. what a terrible job now im going to have to repair this dent, repaint the fender, and take off the kit to line the door back up . this is going to cost me at least another 500.00-600.00 . i really need to talk to ian but he has not responded to my recorded message yet. does anyone here live in maryland who knows of any good hook ups? to off set the cost. and also with a good rep. thanks for anyones help. cry

werd that really does blow only thing i can say is if they don't do something about it or even help you out a little since they did do the poor installation you should report them to the bbb (better business bureau) write tot hem regarding your situation. even if you have to wait it'll be worth it in the end! it's sound very stressful i'd hate to loose out couple g's on some person being lazy and not being motivated to do a great job!!! hope you get it fixed take it easy!

kool wil i will call you on monday.and thanks for everyones input on this matter . the truth is not like they will fix it, but EVEN if they said we will fix it again HAHAHA , i will NOT bring it back to them again ive had it with that terrible shop. its because when i went back to talk to the employees about them not taking the right steps to fix it right . they were all lazy, and piss off. just because they put ANOTHER dent on my car and took a short cut to install my doors . the manager TOTALLY LIED to me about doing it the right way . then took the short cut . so they took about 25 mins instead of 3- 4 hours to do it right. the dumb manager did this twice and as a result 2 dents in the same spot. anyways im sayinng if you had this many problems with one shop , after going back again and again about 3-4 times of screw ups . the employees are piss off at me now just because they screw upbig time . they were all saying FU*k, over and over again. really angry. NOW the thing is if i bring it back to these piss off people who cant do anything right they WILL FOR SURE put some kind of damage on my car to get me back maybe screw with my engine or scrape my car and rims. its sort of like going to a resturant and saying i dont like this dish 3 to 4 times with the same cooks. you know what i mean? they will most likely spit or do something to your food for that.why take anymore chances with these fu*king misleading assho*les .i will just get someone else to do it instead. but again thanks for everyones input. i really hope none of you have to go through this kind of hassle. i mean the kit is the best out there , its really good quality, but if you get the wrong shop to do it . its going to cost yopu big time. smile

Someone could of saved me, but no it was too late for me to back out. But Springmans/KillerKustoms treated me awsome and is still treating me awesome. They are fixing my hinges in a couple of weeks. I don't recommend the Lambo doors to anyone (Either Kit) unless it isn't a daily driver. To much of a pain in the ass IMO.

Dave waht else are you getting done with your car?

Jamie, I wish you could look at the Carexcess hinges...You wouldn't say what you just said. There have been NO PROBLEMS w/ the carexcess kit, only springmans. No matter how they fix it, it's gonna go bad again. His kit overextends the gas shocks. Making them blow or lock up. Also, his design isn't solid enough for the endweight of the doors. I've tried to tell mark, but he thinks he's god or something and won't listen.
