It looks good but definitely not feeling those wheels. What are those, from a USDM Accord?

My 2004 TL has a scratch on its bumper from parking on the street in NYC. I didn't do it but, noticed it when I came out. Another time I did valet park in NYC since I was on a date and couldn't find any street parking. Small scratch in the rear bumper. Looks like the put someone's car right into mine. Not too bad but, still annoying.

Glad to see the OP got it repaired and it looks pretty decent to me. I have actually skipped a docs appointment once because when I got there there was no park it yourself spots left. Just valet. Thanks but, no thanks.

I think those are the Civic SI wheels...not feeling them either. you 04-05 owners need to realize that your wheels are NOT bad in terms of stock wheels. 06+ is another story.

car looks like it is back to normal shape.

How much did the paint set you back?
Note a penny. Their insurance covered everything. The shop did a awesome job.

Yeah they are 06+ Si wheels, I like them.

They look fine. They actually look like they could be OEM. I don't get why people are so against them.

Definitely looks good - body shop did good work.

I avoid valet parking like the plague.

I posted a question about the wheels until I (duh) saw the 3rd page. I like 'em. (*#& anyone who doesn't, you don't have to drive on 'em, so there. Nyeah.

sucks to see the damage, but its great to see that your car is taken care of.

The only time I ever valeted my car was when my lil' cousin worked valet and only when he was WORKING.

I personally like the 06+ wheels over the 04-05
