Default Dammit, what should I do?

So I got the random ass idea to get a new bumper for my car at the end of march. I was going to do the stock JDM EF8 bumper w/password JDM CF lip, EF8 headlights, EF8 Style CF hood..etc etc..

I get the bumper and the body shop says its going to a costa fortune to fix. So I nict that idea and got the new VIS Mugen replica. Basically the same as the Wings West I had, but fits with the jdm hood, jdm headlights, and has the jdm amber wrap around bumper lights...

So I order that, and take it to my buddy that works at the body shop. He says that he isn't allowed to do it on the side, and it will take a week and $100-150 to paint, since I have the paint and materials already...

So a week passes, and he said, " I'm pushing them to paint it." OK, so Wednesday of this week I call him, and he says, " they told me it would be done this week."

Here we are Friday, I call my other friend who is the bitch boy at the shop and he says that it's just sitting there and he fiqures it won't be done...

So now I'm pissed, because I feel like they are just pushing not to do it. And I haven't had a car for a month now. 2 weeks being because of them...

I'm not sure what to do. I called and left my friend a message saying, " I know you don't have much say, and trying to get them to paint it, but this is getting a bit rough on me, having no car for two weeks. By all means I don't want the job rushed, but I know it doesnt take over two weeks to spray a brand new bumper."

Ughhhhhh

I'm a payin customer. The job is legit, and going thru the company, not my friend. He was going to paint it, but they told him no more side jobs...

So I am a payin customer.
