I'm glad you're spending time making sure the paint and all is ok. Just yesterday I washed my car after winter and found that the trunk does not match the rest of the car. I was told they had repainted the entire car, I guess they forgot the trunk or something. I so much hate the thought of taking the car back to the they body shop that I have compromised a few other things that they did not do right. Now that it looks the car will be going back anyways, I'm gonna make sure they take care of everything.

What's the deal with the white suff on the top? I had white stuff on my top as well. I thought it would go away after washing but it did not!

I still have a few details to work out with the body shop regarding my repair, but I have to say now, that they have done some extremely nice work on my car!

I was able to compare the work on my car to many other S2000s at the Spugen Meet today. I've read several times how hard it is to shave the front emblem holes, without them being seen. They usually can't be seen in pics, but they can in person. I noticed 5 other OEM shaved bumpers today (there were probably many more) and on ALL of them, I could still see the hole outlines. The shave job on my bumper is nearly perfect, and you can't see the holes, at all.

I'm not out to diss anyone else's ride, I'm just trying to say how good of a job the body shop did.

But they didn't give it back to me like that the first time, or the second time. THEY HAD TO REDO IT FOUR TIMES! (But they did it.)

I'm going to order one tomorrow!

I just hope it fits with my Coastal Metals OEM Lip Protector.

On second thought, I'll contact Colgan first.
