Of course there is two sides to every story but that does not look like a clean build to me.

Yea they've messed up some nice cars down here. "Supposedly" it's under new management or owner and they're getting better but that's just rumor. I haven't seen any proof of increased quality there. Their turn around on repairs is absolutely insane too

Stories like this, i feel sorry for this person and I don't, like cosmo stated research research and do some more research about the company. If it was indeed Z fever that did this work, a simple google search would of saved him thousand of dollars and headache

I totally agree with you. Before I go to a shop or looking for a shop I ask around the Z Club here in central Florida. But some people aren't in the loop, like in this case it was an older man. I've been to this shop before, over 3 years ago, recently saw pictures from somebody complaining and saw the SAME EXACT Z on the SAME EXACT LIFT close to 3 years later. It's sad.

That's odd I wonder why that is now. I'll see if I can find it again as it is just too unbelievable. Damn I can't find it either, must have had to take it down for the lawsuit or something. Really too bad because you shouldn't have to hide something like that, it was seriously bad. Like worse than you could even imagine if the young punk Honda crowd with no experience or training got a hold of a z and tried to turbo it, even they could have done it better.

There is a lawsuit and I also stumbled on a link to a rebuttal from ZFever showing pics of the car on Facebook in it's completed state. In the Youtube video the car did look like a soup sandwich and there was some less than stellar fabrication but in the Facebook pics it's clearly the same car and it looks like someone took the car apart haphazzardly. ZFever gives a timeline that goes from install to some other issues the customer had in which they went to other shops . That install looks like garbage from front to back compared to my BP kit but there are apparently two sides to this story.

Unfortunately there is always two sides to a story.
