To help in the future, I would suggest that you pour a wider driveway and park diagonally!

Nope, 'fixed' the existing one, which came out fine, but the re-spray was really poor; where the bumper meets the panel you can tell they didn't even remove the bumper and just taped it off, so there is a visible line in the gap where the new paint ends, well visible to me but probably not to most people unless they go looking for it.

Yeah, that's what Gene perez does diffeerent, they take the extra time to take that stuff apart and make sure it gets done right.

Sucks that dealerships you buy your car from sucks at fixing the cars they sell.

That's one thing i didnt like about getting my car fixed at the dealership -- just some things noticeable to me but not to anyone else. My stock side skirts were not bolted up again like they should have been, but left "loose". You can't tell it's supposed to even be that way unless you stare at it and the other side. But i notice it because theres a gap there where it shouldn't.

But i was tired at staring at the damage every day and i still don't regret the repair work.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

Mine was "good" not "excellent" like i obviously would have wanted.

Like i said, i still don't regret getting it repaired there.
