Yea, I learn something new everyday... But I took the car this morning, and Al the shop owner was nice an said to bring my car first thing in the morning tomorrow, and he'll get it up in the air.

And funny he said "I shouldve just done your car myself" cause I had to bring it back 3 times.

look at it this way, i bet you the difference in cost between the OEM line and a full set of stainless lines is minimal. Life gives you lemons, make lemonade

I have a set for the rear going in, I'm just waiting for the shop to re do the exhaust pipe so it doesnt interfer with the brake line any more. IDK if the SS line can take the heat from the pipe, but I'm not going to try and find out.

And I think you meant "Make lemonade out of lemons" ?

You need to get a new car that YOU can work on... all you do is come on here and complain about shops messing it up, and you not wanting to pay a single thing.
