Here is an example NR quality on the front page today. You would be fine with the fitment and gaps where the decklid meets the bumper on this NR replica?

+1, I've never gotten anything but great service from AutoTalent.

I'm not saying that this is an excuse, but I'm sure you're aware that SEMA is this week and all the big shops including AutoTalent have been slammed getting cars together for SEMA all last week.

I've been to many, many shops in LA with my different cars and all of them except for AutoTalent have disappointed me. AutoTalent is one of the most legit shops around.

well yes some replica parts arent an exact fit and can be off a bit , but the pic above is crazy.. also , it looks like the shop that did it is completely clueless .....

a good shop fixes that stuff before it gets painted.

So you're saying its ok that they ignored all my calls and never called me back, after saying that they would have no issues installing it....just because the bodykit may not fit that well? And you're absolutely right, this is all relevant to them ignoring me to install a short shift kit.

It's amazing to me that anyone would try to convince the OP to use them. They are in a service business and if they don't respond to you before having your business can you imagine how they will handle your issues should there be a problem after they have your money ??

They would have to pay me to use them at this point and then I would think three times.

I have had several tt's but have never modded any of them,except for my Cayenne turbo,which i only had giac flashed and tubi exhaust installed
I am a decent driver,however,from the start, i have been amazed and a bit intimidated by the serious mods going on here
I am also impressed by all the knowledge available on this forum
Being a mod newby and not knowing where to turn,and looking for the proper way to approach having my tts tuned,i am very interested by ANYBODYS experience with a tuner...especially from someone as dedicated and motivated as ysfg35
It is my humble opinion that you over-reacted by closing his imformative thread so quickly
Please accept my apologies for missing the forum rule that stated we were not allowed to keep posting about a negative experience with a vendor....

Member/Vendor Disputes
Many of the best Porsche tuners and vendors are available through 6speedonline. Those members who have an active dispute with a vendor are strongly encouraged to take the matter up and exhaust all options before bringing it online to the forum. Flame threads are largely disruptive, and will be closed until both sides can come to a resolution.

Again, AutoTalent has been PM'd. If they wish to respond it will be posted, after which this thread will be closed.

Sam, I'll open this thread up if you want to post more information. But leaving this thread open has left it vulnerable to vendors to post and take advantage of the situation...all without AutoTalent giving their side of the situation.

Please PM me if you want to discuss.

If they are ignoring your PM's as well than free game, leave it opened

To the OP, to many people/shops need work, call someone else, end of story.

Anyone trying give a reason or defend AutoTalent should get a clue, they are a business and they should talk to the guy whether they want to install the parts or not

It looks as Sam has logged off. This was the PM I received:

Hey Bob, just wanted to let you know its been a week or so since the thread was made, and I've yet to receive a response of any sort. Even to my voicemail I left them 2 weeks ago. Just wanted you to add that to the thread. Thank you -sam
I PMd AutoTalent again regarding this issue.
