This was my present when I got home from work. I normally never park it on the street in front of my house, but I was in a rush this day.

I figured it would look great. Careful with that parking in two spaces, some people think that's asking for a scratching.

So here she is. Picked her up yesterday.

This car looks better than the day I purchased it. The factory paint had a flaw in the driver's door, where someone had taken a small circular buffer and tired to remove something, and that's gone. There was the tiniest of chips from some asshole on the passenger door, they fixed that too.

When I first looked at the paint in the repaired area, there was a tiny bit of orange peel I wasn't happy about. Turns out it matches the tiny bit of orange peel on the passenger side rear quarter (??), so I'm good with it. There is one issue on the A pillar near the top, where the base coat was blended/stopped/started with the factory paint, and it's a bit wavy with a few pock-marks. It's something I'm going to leave for now, and maybe take back to them some time in the future. They have a life-time warranty, and for right now it's hardly noticeable, and I don't want to go through all that crap again.

This shop did so well, in comparison to other body shop experiences I've had, it's amazing to think I accepted the work from those other shops, and just lived with it. As others rightly stated, the paint on the repaired areas looks better than the factory paint. Deeper, richer, better.

It my work. It's all good. Our lot is only for the two of us, and there's like 7 or 8 spaces.

I checked the accelerometer in the car. It records your highest G levels for L, R, braking and accelerating.

For both braking and L (which is a right turn), I hit 1.5 Gs during my maneuver to (almost!!.....this close) not get hit by the van.

1.5 Gs is pretty impressive, even if only for a fraction of a second during an emergency situation. So I'm going to credit my being healthy and alive to my car. She did me a solid with that performance.
