seriously, this shit has got to stop. here are some of the things that didn't make it on the final version of "that" blog. you know the one about "the real jdm". yea, that one. the day that we mount the wheels and tires on "that" gtr. i told the customer, why didn't you order the rear wheels wider? "why" he asked. "because the way the car sits, the back wheel needs to come out more" i told him. so project kics was ordered. shipped and installed today. along with some other bs i heard. i just don't understand how can people make money like that. i don't treat everyone that comes in the door a cash cow. and if the customer wants to do something on the car and it wasn't put on the car, i would either not charge the customer for the work that was not done. or make sure its done. unless its something i can't do, in that case, the customer will not be charged. this is what i'm talking about.
from that blog:
My particular favorite things about the car are:
1. The scary strategy of mating the Esprit dry carbon intercooler duct with the Wald front bumper - Success! And look at how massive that Esprit intercooler is behind there!
2. The Esprit Dry Carbon Rear wing - My favorite wing for the GT-R right now.
3. The unrelenting quality of parts used - The Carbon Dry hood, the full titanium Amuse exhaust system, the Top Secret titanium intercooler piping, etc. I love building cars that dont cut any corners and everything is done with quality.
here is the other side of the story:
1. no, it doesn't. if anything now the intercooler is too small. if you see the car in person you will notice the gap on each side, on top of that, its one of those thing you have to see in person to really understand how un-professional the work was considering how much money was spent on it. (i'm being picky, i'm sorry)
2. its cool, but the dry carbon doesn't match the dry carbon in the front on the grill.
3. unrelenting quality of parts used... dude, wtf! the carbon dry hood is actually heavier then stock. wayyyyy heavier! building cars that don't cut corners? everything was done with quality? how the fawk do you sleep at night? carbondry center shifter piece was not even on right. the right side corner was overlapping the center shifter itself, and the shifter was hitting it. what about the mines carbon fiber muffler protector? that was left in the car. the customer was told to go to a reliable bodyshop to get it put on. so why the hell did you say you put that on the car? its not on, i have it sitting on my desk. on top of that the poor guy just moved to boston, he doesn't know who and where is a "good" bodyshop around here, and you're sending him off to chase ghosts? at least do some homework and show he where to go. you milked him for all that money that is the least you can do. or put the fucking thing on like your suppose to in the first place. i'm sure the customer was charged a arm and a leg for a piece that looked like a titek part. he had also mention that he was working on a limited budget. so how are you gonna spent 170k when he only wanted to spend 120k? i'm bad at math, but how? treat customers like customers, not money cow. stop milking.
last but not least, we mount the tires, not you. and guess what, "R" is a nice guy, and i just felt the need to help him from being a pushed over. see you at sema. oh wait, the car is not going. (because the customer has to pay for the transport) how does that work? a signature build that was build for the customer and you want him to pay for being your showcase? douchebag, wow, you truly are full of shit...
