workshop:- 20 dollars says if you had have trimmed the bar he would have complained anyway. either way shoulda called.

fanboy:- good luck owning a import if you cant install a kit designed for your car. ur in for a long and expensive road. As it stands you should have known that the bar would require trimming its up to you if it gets butchered by tin snips or by a body shop who work with that kind of thing all the time.

bring back the skyline owners who diy.... back in my day.....

I've been reading this rediculous saga and i have got to say this is funny funny sh*t!!!!

The business owner is an absolute idiot.......... Mate you sound like a f#$king tool. "No one mentions the good things u do (donations to charity/good jobs etc)" --- Commendable effort but if you have to blow your own horn for people to think you're doing a good job.... chances are you're not. You think that they didn't get a bad deal as they didn't have to pay much.... money is most definantly not the most important thing when it comes to people working on your pride and joy. And who commits to working on a car if you're not actually a qualified mechanic.... you wanker.

33fan..... well ur not that bright either

Conversion guy..... you got stooged by a dodgy workshop.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
