I've had benny work on my car, no problems and always takes a extra step warning me before I do anything

I also had Eric wire my double din, no problems at all and he would show much what wire went to where

+1 rep to both these guys

1) First time you took off the bumper, you told me there were 2 clips on side, which are now missing.
2) Tab were cracked afterwards because I had people checking out my car before I gave it to u, they said it is obviously different after and they thought I had an accident to have caused that.
3) I did pay 1100, I paid $800(around 550$ for headlight, around 250 for switchback/hid fog) total price he gave me at starting just for the headlight, switchback, foglight, then misc just keeps adding it, like wiring, resisters, extra labour that I paid, etc. I had 1.3k laying at home to begin with all going into modding, now theres $230 left. People who are reading this dun have to believe me because I dun see the point of this argument anymore.
4) I agreed on the price because I actually want the job done, not just gimme a halfway junk
5) JNC from acurazine has service for 150$ and he allows to do an extra set of headlight himself and send mine after he sends his. And yes, I was stupid enough to trust you guys on the headlight, I have to admit, I learnt my lesson.
6) Bumper clips were main cause of bumper deformation. (which I was mentioned in 2)
7) If Eric nothing to do with it, then y he all of sudden blocked me when I told him I have proof that he did it. Why not just come with me to mechanic, and other people and face the problem and argue about it? And don’t say its none of his business because it is because I have proof.
8) For HID foglight, I barely used it, but u dun have to believe me. You did not say replace it for free, I pay for the bulb for another $30 and you install it for free. Also, this is wat I said, “those foglights r kinda expensive though, why cant I just buy one from locally?” you”Cuz locally hid bulbs are bad quality. Me”oh so those bulb that u ordered are good quality? You”ya”
9) For headlight screws, I wasn’t even talking about the outside screw, I said after I baked it open, there was at least 5 missing on INSIDE. The inside required screws to hold them together to look OEM. However, my guess is that ur gonna say previous owner did all those and you completely did not realize it. (Headlight was not modded at all when I bought the car. So iunno why would previous owner open the headlight for nothing.)
10) Eric took my wiring diagram, I have proof on facebook. Last few message he sent me included a picture diagram from the book he took when we were discussing about the problem.
11) I didn’t say alcohol rub was ur fault, but after the resealing, I kept telling you guys it is condensated, I have proof on both facebook and text messege to you and eric(including the condensation pictures).
12) I gave you guys the headlight on Monday, Took it back around 5-7 days later(not sure for my bad memory I apologize), Also, do not tell me it is because of the painting grille, I went to guys on the 3rd day and NOTHING was touched on the car.
13) I am asking you about all those BECAUSE I have to fix the leftover you guys didn’t finish… u think I want to ask those? Exhaust? That was like 2 month ago when I just mentioned once to tell me if you find any exhaust called ATLP (I even said don’t look for it, just if u happen to passby one on facebook)
14) I took off the rear bumper, and I did thank you guys for helping me out on the bumper. If it is labour he wanted. Ill pay him like $50 an hour for like 10 extra hour he did(hes not even a graduate yet) Pay me $1700+tax in return for his screw up?
15) And STOP USING ME ASKING QUESTION AS EXCUSE, I had to ask those question because I have to finish your guys’ job.

I will be posting the pictures tonight as i said earlier. The picture he posted was the happiest i ever had until condensation came out, and redoing=shiet stuff came.

[tiger_handheld]

edit. missed limitless reply on previous page

[bensta]

the fact you said you could get it done for 150$ in the states is when i say see ya and don't look back.

[dlo]

having someone ONLINE on a different car forum and someone LOCAL is different.. they specialize in acuras, so why didnt u go for it? lol thats ur judgement buddy

[Cardude3]

Yup, that is my problem for not doing it in the state. I regret that but i know it is too late

[bcrdukes]

The Internet is always right.

[fliptuner]

Holy shit

[Cardude3]

Overall guys, I understand Benny and Eric meant no harm at all, and i am not here to argue whose right and whose wrong. I just wanted to tell other people who are nooby like me the experience i had. I am sure Benny and Eric have their own side of story, but overall in my opinion, me and benny are both screwed and pissed off in our own story, and Acura dealer got the money.

[dyan]

Your stories make no sense.

[jpoon]

Don't quote such a long ass post :/ it filled up my whole page. But to OP, it is no ones fault but yours. The decision was yours on who go bring it to. But hey, we all make bad decisions in life. We just move on and learn from it.

In for pics of damage. Stop chatting about who's right and wrong.

[Cardude3]

Everyone, I am not discussing whos fault it is here. I am just trying to share my experience and warning noobies like me.

If you're a noob maybe don't make your first car mod completely tearing apart the front bumper of a car when you have no idea how to put it back together



Your lack of car knowledge really takes the validity out of your claims. Should have just stuck to plastidipping your emblems and installing a "Revscene.net" sticker

[bloodmack]

I see the problem, its an Acura TL.

[sdubfid]

I only trust private modder

Cardude3 do you have source for certified mechanic, engineer and electrician? I need LED install in dash. Already gone permit from city for electrical.

Thanks you

Thanks you

I do not want to recommend any mechanic, or engineer because I do not want to be responsible in the end if something screwed up.
Sorry about that

[CP.AR]

spending maybe 2 hours on Acurazine and you would have been able to do it yourself with the insane amount of tutorials that's on that forum.

Trust me.
I bought my 3G TL knowing jack shit about cars, but reading countless tutorials, doing things slowly, and being careful and I've done things which I previously thought was impossible to do myself at home.

let this be a lesson! Not only will doing it yourself save money, but you will appreciate the sense of achievement and satisfaction once you're done! (It's like jacking off actually)
