I can't believe a body man got done with that job, and said to his self, nice job

I'd be ashamed of myself if i did that. and they should be too.

When you see crap like that, it just goes to show how little pride some people have in themself.

Hope they man up and fix it right.

My thoughts exactly. Taking pride in your work is a rare quality it seems.

Hmmm...ok. I'm NOT DEFENDING THEM....but that seems low.

At that price I bet they had a rookie kid painter do it or something. I'm not very knowlegable on paint pricing...as I work in the shop and never see how much $$ jobs are.

Ya well it's I've or take a little bit on the price because I also got backup sensors installed (because I received a bumper off a fx4) so I'm not sure exactly what the paint part costed me but I will see the breakdown when the bill comes in lol haven't paid yet until it's right. I should be getting it this evening.

I completely feel your pain. My truck was in an accident on April 5th and required a new hood, front bumper and so on. (I have a 2011 White FX2) I told my insurance company I wanted my truck fixed at the same Ford dealership where I bought it thinking " who better to fix my 2011 F150 then Cook Whitehead Ford " well 3 weeks later "YES 3 WEEKS" I get a call that my truck is ready to be picked up. Upon picking it up I quickly looked it over and the only 2 problems I saw were 1st a chrome bug deflector where my old one was black, 2nd forgot my lower grill insert. Well when I got home I noticed way more problems. They replaced one of my headlights with a chrome bezel headlight "I HAVE A FX2" so my headlights are blacked out, they didn't paint the top corners of the front bumper by the wheels just left them primer gray, all the gaps between the hood, fenders, lights, and grill were way off, and the paint was cracking already on the grill. So I called the dealership body shop back and complained about it. Brought my truck back in the following Monday once the new "PROPER" headlight came in and was told it would only take 8hrs to fix all the problems...........Thursday... I get a call that my truck is ready. I Pick it up that evening and drive home to inspect it........WELL......... Still no paint on the bumper corners, paint is still cracked on the front grill and then I notice all the CRAP under the new paint, looked like they painted over grains of sand. Atleast I had the proper headlight in and bug grill on. So called them back AGAIN and brought my truck back AGAIN. Before I did I circled ALL the imperfections with a red marks-a-lot marker and drove back to the dealership looking like my truck had the chicken pox. Well the day I was coming back to work offshore I get a call that my truck is ready but Im still at work for another week here in Louisiana before going home to Florida, so Im hoping its finally fixed.... but not holding my breath. My accident was April 5th and its now June 21st so all I can say is if its not to your liking keep bringing it back till they get it right. Eventually they will get it right because they don't like to keep spending money.
