Michael Klein of the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER revs up news that David Akers is suing a Florida car restorer for doing “shoddy work” on his Ford Mustang - including a $1,700 radar detector.

The Eagles kicker contends that Ronaele Inc. “applied a defective clear coat and improperly installed a high-performance exhaust system” to his Shelby GT500. He also charged the company with putting unauthorized photos of himself on their website. (The photos have since been taken down.)

Akers was billed $31,000 for the work - “including a $1,689 radar detector“. Seems like a reasonable price - if you were hunting for Russian subs on I-95.

Now Akers is suing for $75,000. Meanwhile, a Ronaele spokesman tries to deflect some of the kicker’s claims, blaming the car’s exhaust problems on “New Jersey roads.” You’d think a $1,700 radar system would be able to detect a few potholes.
