Beware of idiots
Always a bright side. It will be better than it was before. Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it is done.

My '08 GT convertible is Dark Candy Apple Red metallic-a 3 stage color.
Due to a slight mishap in my garage...the front bumper was repainted last November at Performance Auto Collision.
The color match and finish was spot on.
Your repairs, bodywork, color matching, paintwork and finish will all be superb.
You will be another extremely satisfied customer...they are that good.

Back from picking up the car. Pics soon. The paint job & door replacement looks great. There a couple things that I am not pleased with though. They removed both the front and rear bumper cover assemblies and my front splitter is no longer installed correctly. I can see the open slots where the tabs are supposed to go. Plus the drivers side seat belt was reinstalled with a complete 360 twist in it. That and about ½ a tank of gas is gone. They said I could bring it back on Monday when the shop people are at work and they could look at my issues. It's almost a 2 hour drive each way so that really sucks.
More later.

And there's another issue. They kept the car outside overnight and it rained last night so when I picked it up, the top surfaces were pretty dirty. I went to rinse it off after I was home awhile and water just pours in at the top of the back glass. Not little leaks or drips, but pours in water. All around the area where the 3rd break light is. Soaked the rear parcel tray and lower back seats. Fortunately it was sunny and windy out today so after getting as much as I could with a towel, I left it outside in the sun with the windows down to dry out.
Needles to say I'm very disappointed. Pics up next.

THAT sucks. Did you happen to document the mileage when you dropped it off/picked it up? I'd have to SERIOUSLY question why they would need to drive it for a body repair.

The car is back home and I couldn't be more pleased. All issues resolved. 
The gas issue remains a mystery. Lack of writing down the milage and my recollection of exactly where the gas gage needle was when I dropped it off probably come partially into play.

A gasket issue around the 3rd brake light. I don't know if it was missing or not seated correctly. When they looked at it they knew right away that they could fix it without having to remove the back glass or brake light though.

That is a nice color. Are you happy with the blend?

Your car looks awesome.
I knew these guys would take care of any outstanding issues...glad they were minor and easily resolved.
Performance Auto Collision is the best.

I am extremely happy with the result. The entire side of the car was resprayed and one cannot tell at all. I've looked at it in sunlight, shade and under fluorescent lights. The result is flawless. Performance Auto Collision are definitely masters of their craft.
