Ok, so to make this brief...I got into a wreck May 18th...I haven't got my car back yet! I was told some of my parts were on national back order. My insurance company has been given three different completion dates. I went by the shop today to check out the progression and the car is pretty much complete. They're doing finishing touches and detailing over the weekend. However, I have two problems. First of all...The paint blend is good, but it's not ruby red!!! It's almost a cherry/wine to the original ruby red blend(I'll add pictures when I get to my computer)...That's probably my biggest concern right this moment. My second concern is the great deal of condensation that has accumulated in the fog lights of the brand new front fascia.

What do you guys think? After almost three months I think my car should be perfect...I have voiced my concern with the shop, but I haven't spoke with my adjuster yet. The owner said that they would repaint the car if I'm still unhappy after detailing, but it's not like have that in writing...what to do...:confused:

When it's done have them put it outside in sun. If its doesn't match say so, tell them try again.

Yea look at it in the sun light not just in the shop lights. If it's not right tell them to repaint it. Once you take it your telling them it's fine.

Ruby red is a tough match, but being a 2016 should not be a problem. Have them put it in the sun and view it from all angles. If it is not right then its not right.
