Hey I went to see my Black 1980 RX-7 that has been in the body shop for 9 months!! They are outting it back together now and those ****** broke my driver side tail light lens!!!

Anyone out there can help a brother out?? I need to find a nice shape lens!

 

I'd say you should impress on those monkeys that they need to squat down and **** you a new lens, or you're gonna own a paint shop here soon.

But that's just me.

 

i also feel that the sop should pay for the lens. try posting an ad in the 1st gen for sale/wanted section.

 

You paint a nasty picture Glen!

Ebay has taillights for SAs all the time - some on there now. Usually $20-ish each. Sorry for the grief. No excuse for that - I ALWAYS photo my car AT THE SHOP before I hand over the keys. bastids....

Oh i want them to pay for it! I just need to find one that is in decent shape. I posted a WTB in the classified area.

I just hope I find one as nice as mine WAS!

 

someone will have one. its just a matter of being patient and waiting until one come along that meets your standards.

 

Oh yes...one will come. I will deal with my cracked one until I can get another one.

 

just make them pay you the $125 or so for a new lens...

 

You could still get them new from across the world a few years ago. But I have a feeling they will not buy you a new one.

 

9 months? broke a lens? sounds like to me that they suck. i would never go there... might wanna post the name, where in houston, and etc. so we know not to go there.

 

I could not agree with you more. Damians Body, Clute, TX

 

yeah if the shop were like any...idk...regular body shop...they would 1.not take 9 months to do a first gen and 2.not have YOU..the owner of the car find something for them to buy that they fuked up in the first place...if they dont agree to buy you a brand new one then take them nigggas to court and u will defenitely win..unless the body shop people are friends of urs or something which i have a feeling is the situation.....

 

they have to replace it no matter what with there own money. if not bring them to court

 

so what exactly where they doing to your fb that would take that long? where you just getting new paint?

 

i would ask for them to pay you money, when you trade the benz

 

Benz is off the table....we are settling for a reduced amount!!!! I just want my car out now,,,,, this whole thing is just a BAAAADD deal!

 

Well I kinda know the guy....it started out that he would repair the damaged hood and replace the fender and repaint the car. I figured a month or two being generous. MY car kept getting put to the back because of collision insurance jobs.

Lesson learned.... don't take a car to a Collision shop to get a whole paint job unless you are ready to get the run-a-round!!

Bottom line...I want my car back...

 

That sucks man, I hope it all works out for you, most of the body shops around here suck too which is why I taught myself body work and just do it myself.
Good luck getting the car back, does it look like they did decent work at least?

 

Thanks man!! The work so far is EXCELLENT...

 

Thats good then, at least your not waiting for crappy results lol, gotta post pics when you get it back!

 

yeah...my gf's first gen got painted in one weekend...lol..thats including repairing the million dents and doing the moldings and everything else...came out rle nice...turns out the guy has a tumor tho...thats not good

 

man that sucks. Well you now I was cleaning out some cabinets in the shop yesterday and I found four lens. You say you need a drivers side one. I will go look at them and see if they are any good ones.

Thats cuz im a parts *****

 

wow a post pimp and a parts *****! codeblue to the rescue... btw, how do you login? LOL

 

That would be great!! Please let me know. Yes driver side lens on a SA22

 

well unfortunately the one I have has a crack in it. But its all in one piece.
