Default EVO Gussets Install - Would You Complain?

I just got my JK back from the shop after having EVO gussets welded. I was not exactly happy with the work. Would you complain if it were you?

If so would you just have them fill in the missing welds, or would you have them cut the existing welds to position the gussets in the right place, and then weld it correctly?

You paid money for them to do it and do it correctly so take it back and let them fix it.

F THAT CRAP! I wouldn't have even left the shop without inspecting the work! Before you go, email Mel and ask him to look at the pics and tell you if it's right or not. See if he can give you an explanation of why it's an improper job. Print his e-mail and take it with you to the shop that did it! I doubt they are going to argue with the guy who made the part!
