they installed some guage face overlays in my car and did a pretty bad job, i ended up having to buy a new gauge cluster for the car cuz they took the needles off and they never worked right, they did just "overlay" the gauges they took the stock ones off and placed the new ones over the holes and they lasted about a month then they started bubbling badly, but they didnt want to take care of the situation and fix the mistakes so i had to do it myself. so the cluster was destroyed, the overlays were destroyed, i ultimatily had to do the work myself with the help of a friend. but thats how i feel, my only experience with them and it was not good. sorry just had to ramble on

Your car is prolly why we stopped putting on any of those.I think any shop would agree that they are junk.

Even so, pulling off the needles and original faces is bad for the gauges.

wow thats the worst body work i have ever seen. is there anything legally he can do?

I didnt read the whole thing, but one thing I did read is that he doesnt think there is anything he can do because he paid the bill and signed off on the work. He is going to try to get the business itself investigated by the Better Business Bureau (or something like that) to see if he can get it shut down.

Why he signed off on the work, I have no idea. I dont know the whole story/circumstances so I cant really judge him. Maybe he had to in order to take posession of the car?
