Finally happend to me, hit & run...Now with pics

I got my car back.
Looks ok. $3100 total minus my deductible, so $2600 insurance paid.
They even were nice enough to put my grill insert back into the new grill, & cut the radiator plastic trim to clear the Icebox.
The only 2 problems I could see were the hood struts need to be replaced. That wasn't on the estimate.
And the grill surround, doesn't match exactly. Not sure why. It comes pre painted from the factory, but it's a shade lighter then the rest of the paint. It looked to have the correct part number. The shop didn't notice it & so they didn't paint it.
Not sure if it's worth the hassle of getting the adjuster to come back out & getting the insurance co to cut another check & then drop the car back to the shop. I may just buy another grill surround & the new hood struts.
But the car does look good. Looks as it did before. It was all bolt on parts that were replaced(hood, grill, headlight) & nothing major. I tried to take a pic of the grill surround, but couldn't get the color difference to show.
Happy it didn't take that long to fix. And this Lexus dealer gets an A+ in hospitality. It showed in the service.

color difference is prolly due to age of paint on car as they had to match it up to the rest of the paint
