i ordered a stalker s front bumper from mrbodykit.com and it turns out to be a piece of **** the installer put it on but its offset an inch on all sides and its got a 2 inch space between the lights and my bumper the hoodlooks like its open a little. is thissomething i can have redun or am i screwed. any ideas i cant have the place re do it because it was an insurance claim and i thought i was getting a good deal...... help

i had this problem from them 2 and it took my shop longer to get it fixed but they got it they said they had to rework the hole bumber for it

If the guy messed it up then have him put it on right. Thats his fault, not yours.

i hate cheap aftermarket parts! :P i used to work at a body shop, and the worst usually were the ebay headlamps and taillamps. ive seen them come in with no wiring harnesses, not even the right size, two lefts, poor fitment, they leak, etc.

anyway, id take it back, show him how upset you are with the fit, and see if he can make it right. if not, you can try another shop to see if they can fab/tweak/cut it a little to make it work and look better. good luck, man.

the shop was rushed because the insurance company quit paying for the rental, a slow little jetta that i had to drive around makes me really appreaciate my mustang. so i could take it back and ask them to work on it. but i might be sol if not ill take it to someone thanks for the input...

Sounds like the body shop you took it to owned you.

Was the accident you filed the claim under your fault, or somebody elses?

I had a friend buy a hood from Mr.BodyKit and he ended up having to buy a Cervini's.

Cheap body parts are generally just that.

Sh*t man now im scared, I got my kit from Cruizin Concepts and is getting put on in a week I hope they dont have the same probem!

Mr Body Kit SUCKS. Get better parts next time.

Any word on how good Cruizin Concepts products are?

Same crap.
Get itfrom a Cervini's or someplace well known for good products.

Matt,

I know people who have ordered from both CC & MR.bodykit. If the parts are SO BAD they can't be installed they should't be accepted at the shop. The body shop I use (the one I send all my friends to) has put pats on from both places and they look fine.

The shop matters as much if not more than the part.

Yeah i called mr bodykitthey siad did you read the disclaimer.. apparently its ok for them to sendcrappy parts.
im taking my car back to get that fixed on monday on top of the 2400$ they got paid for the insurance i paid 500$ for the extra labor. the paintjob is awesome, so if i need any thing painted im going there.

Post some pics!

alright on my first break at work which is 3:30pm cst i will post a few

it was my realestate agents fault she backed into my car it was a messed up deal the insurance told me to go there which is leading and is illegal then they started working on the car without permission or a signature to start working but after they had already started i gave the go ahead i had my rental for a certain amount of days.

so i took it back to the body shop because on top of everything else my lights fogged up, they said it wasnt their problem and they stood by my car as is, he said he had never heard of sealient for headlights and that on a nice day i should do it myself and my paint i thought was goodis wavy..... any advice?
