Well guys, what’s the verdict? She’s a bit dirty and still in the shop. The shop tech informed me that there’s an issue with a gap with the DV8 top, not aligning right so they need to contact DV8 to inquire about the issue. Now, this is another issue that I wanted to point out, the shop owner ordered the top without getting my approval first, I wanted to come visit the shop, talk to him about the build, whether we were going to order the DV8 top unpainted, ready to paint or just order it in stock black color. I also wanted to get the proper wheels set as well and get everything ironed out before leaving the Jeep in the shop to get the suspension work done, lift, etc. I have a vision for my Jeep, that’s inside my mind. However, I am envisioning everything color matched, and nice evenly blended. I don’t like the top with this flat black color, its fugly IMO. The shop owner apparently was in a rush to get this top ordered and all he had to do was to wait for me to stop and drop my Jeep off the following day so we could iron everything out, but he was too in a rush apparently. I told the shop owner that I like the top but that I didn’t want my Jeep to be incomplete, first I don’t like the wheels, he was the one that tried to sell me on those wheels from day one I told him that I wasn’t feeling the look or style of them. He asked me that the wheels would look a lot different when everything would be installed such at the 10th year anniversary hood, front grill, DV8 top, etc. I’ve been without my Jeep since last Saturday, do the math! And counting and my Jeep is not complete, parts are missing and I just feel like this deal is going to go south…
The only thing that is missing is my hood, grill and the DV8 to be painted color matched. I feel like telling the shop to re install my stock top and be done. I think it’s the shop fault for not ordering and doing everything scheduled, as per the customer’s request, etc. So anyway, what do you guys think? Does she look ok, good or should I just get the top painted? The vision that I had for my Jeeps somehow is not panning out. Still parts are missing from this built and I am without a car, also the wheels that I want have not been ordered!!! Using uber as transportation luckily that I am on vacation for 3 weeks but who wants to spend their vacation stuck at home? Ok I guess that I am venting, lol~ :atomic:
