Body shop trying to screw me, need help

Well the car has been in the shop for 2 weeks, and it is finally about ready, except for a few problems.

1. I told them to put the I35 grill on the car. Today my mother calls me and says that they put the original on cause the I35 doesn't fit. Bullsh!t

2. The HID bulbs were not harmed in the accident, but the casings were cracked. The guy said he ordered the wrong casings. Aren't they the same casings? What does that have to do with the bulbs?

Apache Body Shop on Utica Ave in Brooklyn. They ****ing me off. They said the car was ready Friday and will be delivered Sat. They givin me the run-around because it is Monday and they don't have the casings OR grill.


I wouldn't be suprised if they said they ordered a new grill and put in the old one from the accident, charging me an extra $200 which goes in his pocket.

The grill should fit - no problem.

As for the headlights - it sounds like you just need new housings - in which case - you need the I30t or I35 headlight housings (basically, you need HID housings), not regular A33 halogen housings.

is your bumper damaged? If so how much would you like to sell it for. I need it to mold in a custom lip.
