Well after 24 days in the body shop i finally got my car back,
they didn't clean it as well as i do, so i spent most of thanksgiving cleaning and going over everything, i did notice however when they changed the door they forgot to put the black molding back on around the window frame, so i guess i'll get it tomorow (hope they didn't throw it away)

they also put stock roadlamp bulbs back in, so i'll have to pick up another set of piaa's

Reunited at last, huh.. Nice work.

 

Look great man!

 

Glad you got her back.

 

Hey man...looks amazing. What would we do without body shops?

 

those body panels match incredibly well!

I've never seen a silver car come out lookin that good.

Congrats.

 

thanks soopa, i was worried the whole time

ps i didn't forget about the icons, i'll have them done by the weekend

 

That is one of the best paint matching I have seen on a car that has had extensive body repair...

 

Congrats d00d! I bet your stress level just went waaaay down.

 

Looks great man!

The body shop did a fantastic job matching my silver too! I was absolutely amazed. You literally can not tell one bit that the car was ever worked on...even in direct sun. I am amazed!! I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow, after I rinse it off a little...

The guy in the body shop (this is the shop that my dealer takes all their body repairs to) said the silver on our cars was easy to match but the "Champaigne" Acuras were a bitch to match up. Is there a champaign-ish Acura out there...of any model?

Pretty sweet to have your own car back huh...especially when it's a CL-S!!!?

 

Looks good!!! Good luck

 

All you men think about is the Type S. I'll bet you didn't even know there's another version of the CL/TL--the Premium. One of the colors available for the red-headed stepchild is Naples Gold, which could ostensibly resemble the color of champagne. Personally, I'll take my CL silver-hued and drink the champagne.
