Ha!, this happened to me when i did a brake job. My friend who goes to school at UTI came back for a weekend and he was hanging out as i was doing it and i asked him to finish up my passengers side. Later that day i was driving and i heard a tink and a really loud noise from the front like a rock smashed the inside of my fender wall. i was like WTF! and applied pressure on the brakes and it felt really bad and tried to stop super fast so i let off the brake turned off to a side road and pushed them again and the passengers side locked up. I looked and the lower bolt was missing and the caliper dug a nice ring into my rim. I got a bolt from a local hardware store and put it on. I was pissed, but it was my own fault for not double checking my own car. (ya think a guy going to uti would have done it right huh?)

Ya it was the black Laser. Thanks.

Thanks for the posts. They were real cool about it. Apologized greatly. They had another bolt to put in for the mean time with Loc Tite. Ordered two bolts from the dealership no charge. Getting those put in today.
