I believe my problem is just the opposite. PG Collision is busy as hell and my car, with it's ****ty aftermarket 1/4 and door skin that don't fit right and they don't want to take the time to make it fit. Why putz with this when they can throw a hood and front fender on an Altima and get that money with much less effort. I believe my car is taking up the slack when they've got little else to do. When I can actually talk to him I'll find out what his thought is on completion and then find out about simply getting it back and how big of a financial hit that'll be.

I'm surprised to hear that the aftermarket fitment is that bad and something they are not used too. Aftermarket panels are used for newer cars also and don't fit like originals but they make them work. Chinese parts for a modern Camry fit terrible also, is my point, but in the end, you can make it look good.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
