I'm a business owner and I make a living of giving my customers what they want and keeps them coming back, I seen this car in person and the hours and workmanship that was completed on this car not everyone can do or will do. Before the car was released I talked with 813customs and they told me that all this would occur... I think is silly that grown group of guys waste their time bashing a hardworking company for doing their job and being good at it. Grow up people...
Hold on , hold on , hold oooooonnn!!!!
I own a custom motorsports shop and have for years.. I too give the clients what they want, but I also really go outta my way to consult with them as to how a job would best be done. I wouldn't take on a job just because the payday is large (and it would be large due to the insane amount of filler on all the speaker boxes).. At some point you as a shop owner need totake pride and consider what people will say about your style of work. I don't think that anyone here said that the work was of poor quality , just that the execution was absolutely
terrible. Let me say it again ...Absolutely terrible. I really hope it's a ZL1.. He'll need the extra torque to move that extra weight and turn those massive wheels.

And your right its our responsibility as experts in the business to lead clients in the right direction.. But the customer is right always at the end in the retail world and knowing also the owner of the car there was nothing that could be said to change the fate of this 2011 camaro 2ss convertible. What I found interesting in this build was that most of the guys who have this sort of builds done never really focus under the hood mods but this one was upgraded to a whipple 2.9 blower kit with a custom cam and kooks headers... I know it's pointless with those wheels and weight but at least it does have sum to maintain the muscle car sound and hp..

And don't get me wrong 813customs is not a performance shop, they do body and audio stuff...

If I had a shop I would not let my name be associated with that build. Even worse is the music with the video being shown. If the shop owner OKed the video and music he deserves the negative comments he gets.

I'd like to remind you all that this business owner continuously misuses the words know/no and break/brake. I'm not sure how you judge people's intelligence, but that is a dead giveaway for me. Everyone associated with that thing is retarded.


I survived C5F3!!!

In all seriousness that's got to be the result of drug money, If you work hard and honestly I doubt you would spend whatever amount of money to turn a nice car like that into an obnoxious piece of gold wrapped crap.
It should be illegal to be that stupid.......
I love so of you guys train of thought here

What is wrong with people? I mean, you seriously have to have half a brain to think that looks cool, in any way what so ever.
