Click "Edit Tags" and have fun! There's a letter limit and I think you can only add a max of two per thread.

IMO, I dont care if there are 20 happy customers for each time something like the OP described happens. If it happens once, that's one too many times already.

Why do I feel like there is blame on both sides. A kit that didnt fit and a company that didnt care about making it fit....

And in the end the customer got screwed, I can see a customer willing to work with a company when things go bad to try to get it installed which will run the cost up but man, these last 2 guys have paid waaaaay more than they should have for the final product. And without their car for months is crazy. In the end the companies need to understand the customer is their only reason for being there and need to own up on their mistakes and pay for them. If a shop tells a customer they can install this at this price, then no matter what its their responsibility to do it just like that once they start the job. If something needs to be done extra, they need to know before the job starts. I mean once your car is apart and you have paid $12K of course you will do things you wouldnt have done before they took your car apart and I think this company knows this and does this on purpose. I hope the OP does go to court and gets his due.

I know Sam well enough and have seen several kits put together correctly to tell you that 9 times out of 10 the fitment issue is because the installer just plain didn't follow instructions.

How can a novice put a GTM TT kit together in his garage without problems, but a "pro" shop can't? Anyone who says there's a fitment issue, my first question would be did you follow the instructions, did you put the right part on the right side....my next question would be...did you call Sam and ask, if you couldn't figure it out yourself. If the answer was no to both of those questions...then I'd blame the installer!

Some shops just think they know everything and don't bother reading instructions or asking questions because they think they've done it X number of times and always have the right answer. That's not always the case.

RCZ, I've seen enough posts from you to know how biased you are. This type of thread is not a good thing for either company but come on dude! Did you see the pictures of Juan's car? DP's? There's no way in hell an intelligent person like yourself is going to give Shariff credit when his rebuttle to all the pictures showing how beat up that car was, was because due to "fitment issues". LOL

The guy is making a DVD video for crying out loud...I guess we'll be able to uncover all these mysterious fitment issues and see how GTM sneaks around them when you watch the video!

And you seem to be just as biased against him and for some other company to keep posting after everyone of his posts. It takes one to know one! LOL. Me, Im biased against bias.

Maybe you haven't read enough. Go find all the posts by RCZ in the past week and maybe you'll get a clue. And for the record, I've only posted after him twice...so "everyone of his posts"...really?? He says some really stupid sh*t sometimes and sorry...I just can't help but point it out.

Ive seen other threads where you do the same thing. I dont care if he is biased towards one company or not or that you are towards another. But you always seem to bring that fact up after his posts. We all say say some stupid things on here at times. No biggie. Its all about info and fun here.

Although it seems unpopular, I compliment the OP for giving us this information and am a little disheartened he's getting ragged on.
