Need help from the s2000 community . Last week while driving from the Everglades National Park a dog ran in front of my s2000 (I was doing 50-55mph) and clipped the animal with the edge of my left front bumper (The dog continue to run across the road into an open field ). The damage was a partially detached bumper and some bubbling to the paint . Took it to Braman Honda in S. Miami and was told that the entire bumber would have to be painted at a cost of $463.00 .
Picked up the car on this week Weds evening and it looked good , when I saw it the next day in the day time the matching of the paint was not even close . Returned that same day and the Manager is giving me the TYPICAL "YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IT FROM THIS ANGLE etc " . He finally told me to bring it Monday of next week to have the "Paint People" look at it . To add insult to injury the black radiator grill is loose and the drivers side headlight is no longer flushed to the body.

Here is the pics I took today http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=672515

Would appreciate any feedback , specially from Suzuka Blue Owners .

Thanks

Jose

 

dood it looks like they painted it silverstone...

 

That's what I thought too. They definitely need to redo the job.

 

Looks like crap man they need to fix that

 

I agree. Although it could be the exposure on your pictures, but it looks Silverstone to me as well. The alignment of the headlight is shoddy as well. Unacceptable.

 

If you can complain enough to get a refund, I can recommend an awesome body shop (custom painted my whole car).

 

Pepe the dealership is supposed to give you lifetime guarantee take it back they should be able to redo the job the alignment is a minor problem. If you want perfect match they have to blend the front fenders, Good luck

 

I appreciate all of the support you guys have given me ! If there is a Suzuka owner that wants to send me a picture ( bumber and hood ) of their car I would really appreciated it as the shop manager is asserting that this is the normal Suzuka color . I went to a couple of dealers yesterday to find a suzuka but no luck !

Best to all

Jose
