Finally got my car back from body shop!
So, my wait is over! About December 10 or so, my car was hit in the parking lot at work. Whoever hit it shattered the right taillight and destroyed rear QP and bumper cover, and messed up the wing. I just got it back today, and snapped a few pics....The body shop did OK, but missed a spot with the paint, where the rear gfx meet the bumper cover
. So it's going back tomorrow. Otherwise, I think they did a good job. And I got a new fiberglass wing (old factory wing was really screwed up even before the accident), and new paint in the rear out of the deal. And I polished my taillights this afternoon while it was nice out
. :hail: Meguiar's! Now all it needs is a good bath, and waxing, cause it still has lots of body shop dust and crap on it (not obvious in pics). Then it's hibernating till it's nice out.

i like the black centercaps better than the chrome in your sig pic too...

i'd say you made out on the deal.

Thanks all! It just feels good to have it back, even though I can't (won't) drive it till it's nice out again. Diggler, I like the black caps better too...I replaced the chrome ones cause 2 got stolen, and I got a good deal on the black set. I guess dollar-wise, as far as what was done to the car vs. what I paid, I came out on top, but the $500 out-of-pocket for the deductible hurt - that wasn't money that I was planning on spending. I was planning on doing the wing in the future, when I had more disposable cash handy. Oh well.
