The comments trashing a business because of a customer's car and the customer's choice of modifications because of their own opinions loses sight of the business providing a quality job by fulfilling the customer's request.

I agree, however, in my opinion the way this thread was posted makes it look like the company is bragging about how much profit they made and it looks like hey look who i ripped off. Had the prices and everything not been posted then the shop wouldn't get so much bad publicity in this thread. I mean its clear that the customer paid way too much on a thing or two there, if you can get em fine, but no need to post how much you got him on a public forum for the world to laugh at.

This thread brought this business more harm than anything, when it should have earned them more positive rep and customers. I've already seen where this thread made an opportunity for other customers to complain and the owner has had no choice but to apologize, kiss their asses, and use the old "i'll hook you up" line.

The 996->997 GT3 idea was just fucktarded. The eyelids and front bumper are a poor man's attempt at making his car look like something it's not. It's a ricer move and a disgrace to the Porsche marque. Is he going to put GT3 badges on the back too? IMO he should have went with some respectable RUF or TechArt parts.

Finally, what the fuck does my car have to do with stating my opinion on a public forum? You posted this shit to begin with so deal with it.
What they look and what they are, are 2 different things, your saying the offsets are off when we didn't even list the offsets, you must have some special dark side powers where you went through this forum and checked out the wheels in the forum pics 1st hand to say some S#!t you don't even know, got the nerve to talk about "PERPETRATING THE FRAUD", looks like another case of the pot calling the kettle black.
If I don't like the factory round headlights on an 95 integra and I like the flush headlights on a JDM version so I decide to do the JDM conversion does that mean I'm perpetrating, until you decide to pay for the conversion like this 996 he could give a *&ck less what you thought. So until you start shelling out some Benjamins Keep player hating on the sideline Still ain't said what you drive, just as I thought aint got no back that's why your frontin

I don't see how you can clown his cars. They seem stock and clean. No bodykits, tvs, ugly graphics.

You really should stop posting- you aren't doing yourself, your shop, or the car's owner any favors by bumping this thread. Stay classy RPM.
