well, as its my birthday this week i've been buying a few presents for the skyline...
one of which was a new single din head unit to replace the factory abomination.
i even managed to find the right pocket to fill the unsightly hole.
i took it to a place near my work to get it 'professionally' installed and seeing as the manager owns a jap import, thought all would be well.
went to check on the car at lunch as i had a feeling that the surround wouldn't be installed (something that always seems to happen whenever i have had stereo's installed). was talking to the installer, who upon first impressions seems not the most capable of people, and went over what needed to be done. as we did so i noticed that one of my switch covers in the dash was completely out of alignment with the dash... then noticed a few scratches on my dash, then some chips and then even chips and scratches on the right hand side of my steering column!!
looks horrible now, well to me it does, i imagine we all look over our cars with the eye of an eagle.
very unhappy with all of this and has put a right downer on a week that was going to be quite full of fun and modding.
*sigh*
ps. if anyone wants to know where i got it done PM me as i don't think i'm allowed to name the place on the forum.
