I was referring to the paint shade. Looks like it was resprayed standard NFR..however a car will have a level of fade to it after a couple years so it needs to be matched.

The bumper looks darker than the rest of the car.

They painted the trunk, panel, and bumper. The paint actually is a custom brighter red, not NFR. They did a pretty good job matching and blending for it being a custom color. Pictures don't ever do justice.

It appears you don't work for an insurance company.

You are pretty "lucky" the insurance company didn't total it out. With the high book values of old S2000s, they have a better chance of not being totaled with moderate damage versus your typical 10-13 year old car. Unfortunately, proper collision repair is very pricey and it doesn't take much to write off just about any old car that isn't quite a classic yet.

My profession really has nothing to do with the fact I stated. Not all car crashes involve only "kids." If they did, then insurance for non-"kids" would be free or not even required. Not all S2000s get crashed by "kids."

Accident rates for teens is by far more expensive then adults. Furthermore married men get even cheaper. And you must not be married. Wives basically get on your policy for free.

For example, on my two sedans $137/month. Add a wife as primary driver on one of them. Still $137/month.

Then I suggest you add as many wives to your policy as can stand the process. LOL!

I stand by my statement which is accurate: Not all car crashes involve only "kids." Not all S2000s get crashed by "kids."

Rates for under 25 year old drivers are higher, but that does not mean they are the *only* people involved in car crashes and that the *only* people who have crashes in S2000s are "kids." It's simply impossible.

Argue it if you want for whatever your reasons might be for doing so, but it's impossible to honestly and accurately say that people over a certain age never crash cars.

Edit:
To make it even clearer: "kids" don't have a monopoly on car crashes. Crashes can and do happen to drivers of all ages. It is not a requirement that you be under a certain age to be involved in a car crash.

The average teenager is 4 times more likely to crash then someone who's 20.

It's illegal to have more then one wife... oh darn.

This is an INTERNATIONAL forum. In some countries in this world, it is not illegal to have more than one wife.

No man can serve two masters.
