[QUOTE="boxpunch, post: 8174206, member: 655113"] So you weren't the one who fabricated the dash piece to house the volt meter? Either the dash was wrapped before you got your hands on it (which I could see possible as the ac controls have a trim piece around them and this piece doesn't) or he got shafted (or underpaid) at the shop he went to. It's the details that'll help you keep people coming to you. Cleaning up someone else's screw ups is one of those things. A simple step bit in a drill would've cleaned it up and would've shown that you care about how your installs look like, since you got the piece and fabricated it (and plastidipped it) for the guy. That's great you did it for free. Customer being happy isn't always what you're looking for especially if you want return work. I've turned down many of people because they want a piece of mdf wrapped in vinyl and attached to their doors so that they may mount extra mids. Someone will do it for them yes, but comparing that to something custom that's left my shop (for only $300 more) everyone is going to go towards the car that looks better. You're right. They have a finish on them, but for you to say they came out great or even average is absurd. You may not need to smooth out all the pinholes, but you do need to make sure the door doesn't have huge lumps in it (that could've been solved when stretching your fabric before applying resin). There are huge lumps and divots that did need body filler/sandpaper attention. And did you say build something for myself? I've not gotten the chance as I've had many out of state customers (and many in town) lining up for doors to be done. Especially after these left my shop.
