i just got the car back from maaco after being there for 2 weeks and they still painted the front bumper wrong...whatever heres some pics anyways of the new F2 front and SVT rear...all comments welcome

**Foci_Fosho** · 04-08-2007, 01:53 PM

what is wrong about the front bumper?

wanted to have the side marker area black as well?

Despite the Maaco paint job, it looks badass!

**boostedzx3** · 04-08-2007, 02:30 PM

It still looks awesome. You can't expect to much out of those maaco "experts".

**o2_designs** · 04-08-2007, 03:04 PM

Bumper look awesome on there! Lovin the SVT with the yellow. I'm strangely a fan of the rims as well. Car looks pretty nice.

**2focusd** · 04-08-2007, 03:28 PM

Awesome combination bro

Looks good. I wish F2 had better fitment or I would consider it.

What's so crappy about Maaco jobs?

**LornesBored** · 04-08-2007, 03:34 PM

get what you pay for with a maaco job =/

**Honkeytonk Monkey** · 04-08-2007, 03:55 PM

Maaco paintjobs can be really nice, if you either work there or have a buddy who does.

Generally speaking Maaco = a) I have a car I got for free that I want to sell for more than it's worth, b) I am a guy who doesn't care about his car that just needs accident damage fixed cheap since I'll probably trade it in before it starts rusting anyways, or c) I have a buddy who works there and the car will actually be painted by someone who doesn't drag his hands on the ground while walking upright.

looks good!

looks great!!!

**CheckMyVitals** · 04-09-2007, 12:03 AM

camera isn't showing any flaws here (besides the sideskirt in the first pic... but you mentioned bumper)

lookin good man.

those fully smoked tails or something else?

**FoCAS'D** · 04-09-2007, 02:41 AM

Maaco shmaaco.. it doesn't look too bad to me. IF you wanna get super picky then tweek that front bumper lower lip with a heat gun or a screw or something. Cause it's got a little warp-age in the mouth opening. If it were mine I might paint the sculpted out part around the lenses of the headlights in a nice gloss black and maybe the mirror inserts yellow. That'd be a good photochop for ya. Nice ride. Clean and mean.

**zetecgt** · 04-09-2007, 10:09 AM

so you guys don't see that it's also the wrong color??

the hue is way off. I'd make em paint it again.

good looking car.

dave.

**theonly287** · 04-09-2007, 04:09 PM

@checkmyvitals...they are aVs blackout light covers i didnt like the way the niteshade looked on the tails so i thought id have them jetblack and they were cheap

@zetecgt...yeah i was waiting for someone to notice its pretty much the COMPLETE wrong color...i love maaco not only did they take 2 weeks of my life but they took that long and STILL painted the bumper wrong when they are the ones that pulled the paint code from my car idiots...im going back today to see what i can do about getting it repainted

thanks for all the positive remarks about my car its my first now if i could only find ppl in STL that liked there foci as much as i do

**o2_designs** · 04-09-2007, 04:43 PM

I can't tell the bumpers are different because of teh quality in the picture.

**theonly287** · 04-09-2007, 06:12 PM

that is what i meant about the bumper being the wrong shade you can tell here especially and the fit of the bumper is off but im just gonna take it off anyways so i dont care i just went to maaco and they told me they would not fix it since i didnt bring the car in but just the bumper...this is crazy he told me i didnt need to do that since i brought the car in at first and he took the paint code asked me the mileage of my car and he said it should match fine but then HE PAINTED IT THE WRONG COLOR...so now i tell him its the wrong color and hes saying he didnt match it so hes not gonna repaint it i tried to explain to him that no matter what you added to the paint it would still be the wrong color....he then started to raise his voice at me and i cut him off by telling him id see him in court....this is crazy
