72 Chevelle System Fix - Worst install (by a shop) ever - REDO - FINISHED - Page 23 6/17/13


Recommended Posts

It's appalling what was done to a beautiful ride like that and to charge what they did for some of the most heinous work my eyes have ever seen is criminal.

Karma is a bitch and one day they'll get what is coming due to them.

At least the car is in good hands to rectify the piss poor workmanship that the car has been subjected to, to say the least.

This is very sad. I'm by no means a professional installer but I know what I know. I've had shops try to overcharge me cuz they're use to "dope" boyz coming in, meaning they blow money and have no clue what they're paying for. On the contrary, I do I work hard for every nickel that I get and I do my homework so that I get my money's worth. My dream was to have my own shop one day but with places like this in business, it gives the entire business a bad name. Now I know every shop wouldn't take advantage of people like this and I'm glad someone reputable like SMD has got a hold of this catastrophe. I've definitely seen some horrible installs and was blown away at how much was paid for such horrible work.

Those kick panels look really nice...If I wasn't 6'5" I would look into kick panels but that's where my feet go lol

Moke is probably 6'3 and 300lbs - his feet won't hit. There is plenty of room. The new panel only comes out past the stock panel about 2 1/2" on the back side and almost all the way against it on the front side. These don't take up to much space. Plus this car is BIG lol. thanks.

true...because even in the Lexus where the kicks really look like a problem (due to size), they are not even a problem at all. I am not even careful and i never hit them at all. I think the pics make them look worse then real life. People just aren't used to seeing "something" there and when you put "something" there, it looks like it is in the way. Its not though :)

It looks like they tried to train some apes to install that system at that shop. People now days need to take pride in their work, especially on a car like that.

I cant be the only one who laughed out loud at the backside of that panel. It looked like something my daughter would bring home from daycare and she's two.

The tape job N8? I thought it was a joke. The rat's nest in the trunk almost made me stroke out. I forgot what year it was for a minute...

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
