[DeTomaso] Gas Monkey Morons...

Tue Nov 14 19:18:52 EST 2017

They ordered a front air dam for a narrow body L model, then complained when it didn't fit properly. Those things are trim-to-fit and have cutouts for the front turn signal pods on L models. All they had to do was order a Pre-L air dam and trim to fit but instead they made a big production about how bad it was. 

It also seems they ordered some of Kirk Evans' two-piece oversize replacement bumpers for an L-model, a decidedly weird choice considering that they insisted on a chrome-bumper Pre-L? If they were going to fit these L-model bumpers anyway, why not just buy an L-model instead of paying (way) more for a Pre-L?
