i don't have anything against anyone. nothing to squash. it's been back on topic, or so i thought (see posts #4, 11, 21). in fact, the only thing i said was i hope ian didn't get a hack job like i did. maybe i got a bad batch of paint too. bottom line is, my paint doesn't match, the paint is so thin that the bumper isn't even really considered painted anymore, etc. etc. and that's what i hope didn't happen to ian. then the rest is in the posts. if you want me to email you the full correspondence of our falling out, i'll be glad to do that. i have no qualms, no beef, no vendetta, no pork, no chicken, nothing. i have better things to do and to worry about. seriously. let's give ian back his thread.
