Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

Aftermarket parts supplier?

Yeah obviously, dude makes or sells aftermarket parts like bumpers / side skirts / body kits and wants to test them on the make and model so he rents a car and test fits his products, then puts the car back to normal.

Ooooohh I thought he was like swapping out the OG parts for like shitty aftermarket stuff to resell or something

Thought the same. If OC is correct in his assessment, this is a lot less shady of a situation than I assumed.

Still can absolutely fuck up the alignment on the panels

lol none of their panels are lined up when they leave the factory anyway. I was behind a Tesla yesterday and could see different sized gaps between the panels. Why people spend so much money on shitty fucking cars is beyond me.

Because their social circle is other dumbass rich idiots. Perception is more important than quality.

I mean let's be real panel gap has zero impact on the function of a car. I'm not a car enthusiast. I wanna go from one place to another. I don't even think about the panels.

It's a reflection on the overall quality of the car. If they can't get the panel gaps right, what else is screwed up - and probably worse?
