I really thought it was a joke.

I mean really, how the hell can anyone pass this up as acceptable?

Goes to show you that wrapping is by far the hardest thing you can do with vinyl.

It is a work of art in some cases, but not here for sure.

How on Earth could they even let this out of their shop? Seriously, did they really look at the finished product and think - "Yeah, that's another fine job! Our customer will LOVE it!"?

I don't blame anyone but the owner of that car as he never learned "you get what you paid for."

I completely blame the owner too for giving the installer $500 for the job. But the thing is the owner already knows what he did wrong in this transaction and is completely depressed about it. So I won't continue blaming the owner as that won't really make him learn his lesson because he already knows what he did wrong.

I think the worst part about it is all they (the people that wrapped it) need to do is change "company" names (already done) and possibly phone numbers and they can do it all over again to some other unsuspecting fool.

Hey I saw the 1 start review on Yelp but now it's gone. I didn't know businesses are able to filter out 1 star review? What the heck? Wouldn't that cause a lot of biased?
