Speaking of the OP, anybody seen him? How about Juan? And now others show up, all sporting those sexy G37 coupes. WTF. :roflpuke2:

So to try and get some positive things here, has there been a good install of the GTM TT posted on here by a customer who bought one and had it installed at a shop other than GTMs?

From what i read, 1 or 2 have gotten there kits done by GTM...they were very pleased with the work. 1 guy bought the kit and installed it himself, the kit came well packed and he was pleased. And 2 people went to Forged and got screwed over.

Unbelievable
 
The pictures speak for themselves. A proffesional shop doing that kind of work is just sickening!! The quality of work shows what a low down and dirty company Forged is. The only thing Forged could have done to make things right was to buy this man a new car after hey hacked/butchered his car and figured he was too dumb to notice. I mean installing the wrong turbos!!??? Unexceptable. That is not proffesional. I will never do business with Forged based off the pictures alone. And DP i hoped you learned your lesson and dont get played like a cheap trick again. Because you did in this situation. Dont get hustled.

So the poor guy shares his experience, and gets 4 pages worth of douchebag posts? How pathetic

This is not a 100$ job gone wrong, it's probably months worth of OP's allowance just wasted. He's reviewing his experience not asking for anyones pity.. just like he would've done if his install went perfect.. it's just a review with pix

:iagree:

Couldn't agree more, that's all this is. I recommend the thread be locked and all posts that aren't the OP's and Forged's responses be deleted so only the facts are left. Same as Juan's thread.

At this point I'm only doing it to rattle your cage man. Its too easy because you dive right in every time. Sorry. I could care less about GTM. Chill out, I'm sure we would be cool if this were a bar and not a forum.

Forged though, tsk tsk tsk.

I think this one should end up in court because the OP should get ALL of his money back. Its one thing to make an honest mistake, this is something completely different though. This is negligence, not only did the OP get their car screwed up, they got something they bought screwed up.

I agree with this.

The "tough skin" posts are absolutely hilarious. (protip: the itg attitude died in a ditch years ago, you aren't funny nor are you edgy.)

People rave about shops when they do solid work and post long reviews and nutswingin' articles praising them, yet when someone complains about a shop like this everyone whines. I was recently talking to a shop around here that ends up fixing/finding a lot of poor STi/Evo builds from other "highly praised" shops. In reality those shops have **** for work, but because everyone sees a certain name and rejoices it is impossible to say anything negative about them -- even when you have damning evidence. Of course, that is mainly NASIOC/evo-m but I think we can draw some similarities here.

The reality is that if you don't post up the bad experiences then shops will just continue to screw the customer (that's us) over. A failed install on an expensive machine is just inexcusable.

It isn't like this is a poorly constructed post, either. It is worded fairly well plus it has plenty of pictures documenting what the dude is saying.

While I can't say for sure who is in the right or wrong here, I will agree that Forged/GTM seem like a minefield until everything clears.

OP,Forged,GTM: GL, hope everything gets sorted out.

Agreed. I'm quite surprised at how different the opinions shared in this thread are from the G37 one. 3/4 of this thread have been nothing but people arguing about who knows more about the law rather than any interest in the story.

Please keep this thread open. It's very informative. Thanks.
