No one here asked you if you wanted to 'hire private modders'. Sorry to everyone reading this as it is confusing because the story is so much more complicated than this, but it would take way too long to go into full details about everything. Yeah there were mistakes made and I did admit it, but no where was I saying at that point in time that I was selling professional headlight services or whatever. This was simply some kid who I had on facebook from selling my ipod touch to him or something like 4 years ago. Neither of us actually remember who each other are except that we had each other on facebook. He just got his TL and then he saw that I've been posting up albums of me working on my car on facebook and started asking me a whole bunch of shit. At first I was being nice and just helped him with whatever, didn't expect anything. Then I started doing my headlight and posted pictures on facebook as a little journal thing and he asked me if I could do his too and that he would pay for it. I asked what he wanted to do and it seemed simple enough at the time, I gave him a price on what I thought was reasonable for the amount of time and he agreed. Done deal... I never said I was professional I told him that I haven't done this for anyone else either just doing it for myself and he acknowledged that.


Spoiled for long ass post..
Spoiler!


1) What clips are you talking about, because the clips on the bumper that attach to the headlight/fender do not come off..

2) What? You brought your car to a mechanic you have never seen in your life before and somehow he has the psychic ability to tell you that the car was not like that when you bought it?

3) It was $800 for everything listed. You wanted the front grill and rear trim colormatched months afterwards and you're including that in the price, which I obviously could not quote from before. After painting from the bodyshop yes it came out to a bit over $1100, but really that money like I said went straight to the bodyshop and a few hours of our time to you for free.

4) Nothing to say, halfway junk? What? Everything was done to your spec

5) Then why didn't you go to him..? I never even tried to sell you anything, you came to me saying you saw me doing work on fb and that you wanted yours done too. I wasn't even asking people if they wanted their headlights done back then

6) Refer to 1

7) You keep asking me this, I'm not Eric. I'm not 100% clear with whats going on between you two so I don't want to say anything on his behalf. What I do know is that you gave him a very short deadline to come with you to the dealership in northshore when he lives in south Richmond to argue for you something that has nothing to do with him. You dug a hole for yourself when you went into the dealership and told them you thought that some aftermarket shit messed up your ac, now you expect him to drive 45 minutes there to argue for you and then back, all while you're giving him shitty attitude threatening him with stuff? From what I know he had a midterm on Monday and he was studying for that and you gave him the deadline of going with you to the dealership on Monday.. Take all of that with a grain of salt because once again, I don't know exactly what's going on there.

8) $30 for 2 bulbs that I will take apart your bumper and replace the burnt out one for free, yes. There was no warranty on the HID bulb, I don't make it myself, I can't help it if it is bad luck that it burns out within 3 months. I tried to compensate for it by saying I'll swap it for free and wouldn't make any money off the HID bulbs.

9) Once again, there are no screws on the inside. It's all clips. Ask someone with a 4g TL who has done their headlights before, or someone on the forums please.

10) What... I said you gave him the diagram to figure out the problem, not that he doesn't have it

11) No you didn't, but it is our fault and I'm sorry for the rubbing alcohol.

12)It did not take that long, you came back the day after and nothing was done. I took the car to the bodyshop so they could use the machine to match the color of the car, which I told you and you knew about. You came back 3rd day after to take off the grill yes, by that time the headlight was ready but I can't give you your car back without the grill... Well I can, but you wouldn't want to drive it away anyways. By that point we were waiting for the grill which you also know about. So I don't know why you're making that a big deal

13) You asked many many many questions before you even gave us the car and I helped you out with everything. You asked us questions that had nothing to do with anything we were even touching, just your future mods and plans. You asked me for a quote on that exhaust, as well as help on lowering springs and random shit.

14) Are you kidding me, you took off the rear bumper? This coming from the guy that asked Eric how to turn the rear wheels so you can get access to the screws, and was shocked when he said the rear wheels don't turn? Sure you may have helped, but he did most if not all of the work. No Steven, no one wanted to be paid for extra work done to a stranger /sarcasm. I quoted you the cheapest price from the bodyshop and helped you talk it down some more, and you still said it was too expensive and you were reluctant to. You wanted me to get them to price match some shady bodyshop on Imperial who I have never heard of, and can't even find on Google that was $100 cheaper than my quote. I said I can't, I don't control the prices. Then afterwards you said the guy at the shady shop pissed you off or whatever and you'll do it through me. Eric knew about that, and he knew that you already found it expensive but he thought you would take it off yourself. When he had to do most of the work, he was pissed but he did not want to ask you for extra money when you already whined so hard about the original quote from the bodyshop.

15) I have covered this already.



For your other post saying how we're both pissed off, I was already pissed off from you asking questions about random shit. I am not a shop, nor have I ever claimed to be one or a professional or whatever. I tried helping you the best I could, asked around for prices for you and all of that jazz but you were so ungrateful. Yeah I'm pissed off at that, but what really pushed me over the edge is that you would post this bullshit on a forum and call me out, using my full name, over stupid made up shit. That was a fucking bitch move
