I'm impress... the door looks perfectly new. Any other flaws besides the one you have listed? How's the fitment of the glass window? Can you hear wind noise as you drive or did they adjusted that perfectly also? I ask this because my old 02'BB s2k had this same damage but more severe than yours and the body shop couldn't seem to fix the flaw with the window. It seemed as if wind noise was so loud and annoying when I get up to certain RPM's.

It sounds normal, er theres no sound at all When we meet up on Sunday I'll point out the minor imperfetions. As I said I am happy with the work - it looks damn near perfect and I'm happy to have that stupid side wing thing back on, she was look'n a little janky for a minute.

On another note, the RE760 are strange tires - in a good way. The ultimate grip level is seriously high for a tire that falls below the RE01R. Admittedly I have never owned a set of bridgestone tires on any of my cars and I have to say that these things cover all the bases for a daily driven S: ride comfort is unlike anyother S2000 I have driven/ridden in, wet traction is good, dry grip is fabulous...I am not getting the ass end to rotate like I was on previous tires??? There's just more grip. For F1 buffs I was pleased to read in last months R&T that the RE760 is the result of Brisgestone ace test driver and ex-F1 pilot Stefano Modena. Bridgestone asked him to come up with a tire that was a good compromise for highperformance daily driven sports cars. For $540 installed you can't go wrong for a DD tire.

I agree, looking at the pics you can't tell a difference. The door looks great. Hopefully you can put the hit and run behind you now.

That's not the damaged door. Nick picked up a slavaged door, they just repainted it.

Which shop did you use? Would you use them again?? I had some work done a Maze a few years ago and was happy with their work. It was on an accord so I wasn't as picky as maybe I would with my S but it looked great.
