Body shop re-attack

Alright, I took my Z back to Winner's Circle to get the body kit repainted due to some bubbling and cracking. I also wanted to remove the front license plate mount and glass a few rock chips. Since this was warranty work, they took their sweet a$$ time and when I finally went to pick it up today...
The license plate was mounted which tells me they can't follow simple directions; there were runs galore in the clear coat which tells me they put forth minimal effort in the week it was there; and they put a nickle-size paint chip in the front passenger fender--and tried to cover it up with pure white touch-up (like I wouldn't notice) which makes me question the integrity of the shop. The owner, Dale, is a stand-up guy but seems to be in over his head and his new manager is a bit shady. When I get the Z back, I think I will submit a report to the BBB. --BEWARE-- pass it along.

You need to see Brian, the G35 Driver Moderator. You can usually catch him at the Wednesday night meets.

Sam, why should I see Brian?

Mike, unfortunately I had already used WC before you got your kit. This work is under their warranty.

I can't seem to look at my PM's past 3 weeks ago where I would have that info. I am sure he will post on here tomorrow before his golf game bastard!

My rear bumper was worked on by them, and the clearcoat is cracking on the corner of the taillights. The paint that they put on is a shade darker than the rest of the car. At first I couldn't see it because the light was bright enough to blend everything in, but now, it's a little more obvious. Unfortunately for me, Europe doesn't have Pikes Peak White for their Z, so even if I find a Nissan dealership, they may not be able to match my color.

A place called High Tech Paint and Body (or maybe Hi Tech) in Henderson, off of American Pacific. They did a great job on my paint.

I need someone to paint my new body kit soon as well, and I will be damned if I go anywhere within 100' of Winner's Circle.

He is the owner of a body shop now. He can fix it.
