Is it okay to mount a front bumper using wood screws?

So long story short I had this shop, Harbor Motorsports in Westminster, redo my front bumper after it was cracked. They redid it and it was yellow for some reason and they recracked it in the corner when they put it on.

So after an extremely long argument about how I will not pay them until they redo it, they said they will redo it. They wanted me to pay them before they redo it but...i didn't think that made sense at all. 

This time its the correct color. A couple of days ago I noticed it looked like my bumper was going to fall off. Upon closer inspect I noticed the left side front bumper mount was broken, probably when they were putting it on because they used wood screws to screw the bumper into my fender....duma.

What a hackshop. Off to Platinum VIP on Saturday to get a proper job done!

That aint cool.  Lots of hacks out there.  Once you find a good shop, stick to it.  Most people (not refering to you) look for the cheapest shop and bitch when the work comes out shitty.

LMFAO that blows, cant believe ppl out there still make money like this.

WTF. i'd cause a scene and make them reimburse me for whatever shop i took it to.

*facepalm*

reminds me of the famous post over at my350z.com "horrible bodyshop experience"

some people shouldnt be allowed to work at a bodyshop

huh, and i thought hms was a reputable shop. now i know. thanks!

I would take that FN  wood screw and screw it into this hands  on a table  and say See it works here too ... :biggthumpup:

Damn sorry to hear, been trying to find a place to repaint my car but dont know where to go. I hear Platinum VIP does good work but the wait is long. Is that true?

yeah, kennedy takes his time -- he's been known to respray cars because of small imperfections in the paint

damm and here I thought SLang500 shop was legit...
thats some shady ish.

HMS gettin shady? hah. Them cats at Hyevon are cool dudes though, bad ass whips.

call the BAR... that kind of shit work happened to me, fuckin sucks.

I see what they did.. but they did it almost right. that screw, is suppose to go into a plastic piece that is square and has tabs on it. the screw goes into that. you see them on stock cars that fit the bumper into metal fenders all the time. why they didnt use.. not sure why. but obviously they dont have the right supplier of parts

if youre bumper is wood, then it might be ok. :shrug:
