Exclamation Body emergency!! need your opinions/help

So I wanted to put on a GT hood scoop on my v6. And these guys at the body shop put a hood scoop on my car and it was like 1 foot off and was mounted in the middle of the hood. They drilled several holes in my hood in the entirely wrong locations. They claim they will fix it, BUT!

The V6 hood is entirely identical to the one on the GT correct? There trying to tell me that its different and thats why they couldn't fit it. Can i see some documentation, measurements of the hood scoop / pictures. What a ****ing disaster. They made a 30 minute install into a 7 hour job because they need to fill in like 8 holes and paint them.

If they don't fix it right i should be able to request a new hood painted in full and everything right? It's a body shop thats fairly reputable. But i was shocked when they just started drilling holes into **** without even having an idea on how to install the hood scoop. Also an 03' hood scoop should still fit a 00' hood right?

Also are the part OEM part #'s for a v6 hood and GT hood the same? That will help my case alot.

99-00 GT hoods are the same as the V6 hoods to my knowledge. But i am not sure what differences there may be with the newer ones, as I only have a 00'...
