i picked up my car yesterday to find that they painted MY ENTIRE GRILL new formula red... YEA it looks really awesome.

what the hell kind of body shop tech goes "ohhh yeaa... let's paint the whole thing, it'll look reeeeaaal good." what pisses me off is that this guy came "highly recommended." worst of all, my boyfriend was like "just don't say anything... deal with it. why are you whining? why are you being a snotty bitch about this?" etc. just cause they guy who painted it is a family friend of his parents. god i'm so heated. my car looks like a ricer piece of shit... i want to sell it. can this be fixed?!

Paint thinner will take off the paint. You'll have to remove the grill but it's definitely repairable.

okay, i've made some diagrams to show you guys exactly how disgusting my cars looks.

diagram #1 shows where car shouldn't have been painted, but was painted.


diagram #2 simulates what my car now looks like with grill painted.


but seriously, i'm PISSED.

tell me more about this grill cover. it doesn't look like there's anything there... where'd you order it? how much?

but most of it is not removeable... the two pieces on the side are not removable, and the only part of the center that is removable is the top half... the bottom half is attached to the rest of the bumper. i don't really want to take some paint thinner to my bumper...

Soundw like a good reason to get the GB fog lights for your AP1 - just cut out those fake scoops. As for the center grill, pop it out and respray it with some flat black.
