Default Just got my car back from exhaust shop...Need to vent :^(

The MFers totally scratched one of my new rims.
I've had these on for something like a 1000miles and these guys gouged em, on top of gouging my pocket book. I had them pull my DPs and I piggied them, they then reinstalled the DPs and my new exhaust. BTW-the tips are way below the bumper and slightly to the right. To top it off, they charged for 7hrs of labor to do it. I even had them look at the job before hand to see if they wanted to do it, he said "no problem, probably around two hrs." WTF do I do? You know there gonna say they didn't do it.

I knew that I guessed 4, but 7, c'mon. They have proper tools and a lift, and do this every day.
