Do not go to sebastian (aka Randy)!
Trust me, do not go to him. Work=shitty.
Lets start with my girlfriends car. He gave me a price of ~$1250 to paint it, take out all the dents, mold her kit on, paint it and wet sand it. With a lifetime warranty. He takes FOREVER. Finally go to get it back and he tells me its another $200 on top of what I was originally quoted (oh and wrong Mazda 6 blue I might add even though I gave him the paint color). So we're driving it home, he forgot to connect the front fender liners in so they get ran over by the front wheels and crack the molding. Also there are some drips in the paint/etc. I take it back and he fixes the molding after weeks and I go through some shit with one of his guys about how it didn't crack the molding even the the fender lip was pulled out from the fender liner. He was also supposed to fix the drips and wetsand it like he originally told me he would do, but NEVER has to this day. Oh and the part he repainted is all faded and white. Also, he left the rubber window seals all off and unglued, even the front windshield one. When I took it back he pulled the front one off and was going to get me a brand new one but still hasn't. My friends car from MAACO looks at least twice as good as my GF's. Price for fender liners and windshield is $111 for windshield molding, and $99 a piece for the fender liners. On top of the fact that the car is not finished and I ended up paying $200 more than originally quoted.
Second car, my friends. He gets quoted $2000. Pays it all. They take the following:
intake
headlights
tail lights
rear strut bar
3 amps
subs
They never finished the car. Didn't even put the spoiler on it or finish painting it. He gets there and Randy won't even talk to him and leaves. They tell him they are closing shop and to take the car. The car will barely even idle since they took his intake and he has to drive it home with no headlights or mirrors on it and the tail lights he had to rebuy himself. AND the car is not done and they are closing and basically said fuck you to him.
Now someone will be going to jail/paying money back for this shit obviously.
Just some advice: never take a car to Randy aka sebastian on here.

Sucks that people were saying how good he was and everything and it turns out a nightmare. I think I'm going to a new place in Oldsmar now for my paint and body work.
