Well, always take pictures before you get something redone. This way you can judge before and after work. If he does a lot of work and has a good client base, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. I have too, sworn that something looked better before I removed it. I took my center caps off, scrubbed and cleaned wheels until they looked like new again, we are talking about 9 year rims here. And when I put the caps back on, they looked a little rough. This is my Boxster pictured here.
