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.
