A week passed and didn't get a call so i call them and they say that the shop has been broken into and they took my parts. Due to the whole police report fiasco and how much insurance money was made the owner took the money from insurance and disappeared leaving me in a deep hole...and no way to get out.

It was a 2008 model with only 4,500 miles; it was practically new. It was my baby, not only because of its style and hp, but because it was my first car. Well All in all I hydroplaned into a white wooden fence and had to have some body work done. So they got a new front bumper in, and a new hoodscoop, but were able to fix the aluminium hood (you can't tell the difference!!!). But the paint job... So I had a black peral color, and in the sun you could see sparkles all over it. Well the job painted it flat black, and the did the side too leaving several drips on it. They Wouldnt fix it or give me a refund, so now next to half of my car looks like a crap pile, and the other looks factory fresh. Back In may of 09 I bought a mustang Gt.
