They didn't mess anything up on the frame. It can be cut and ground back off. The brackets may have been modified to do so, not sure. I would be pissed personally. Bolts included in this kit?

Second note, this is why you DIY!!

Just spray a couple coats of spray paint and that will keep it from rusting. I've heard of Por 15 too, but I don't know much about that product. What a crappy situation. I'm sorry to hear such a thing happened. They really should compensate you for the time and hassle of all this.
